Our Kinder kids ceremoniously kicked off the opening of the soccer court in the Mission Campus Yard this week. It's a very exciting moment as we continue to open more parts of the yard for student use.
Our Facilities Director, Elisa, welcomed the children with a countdown! The court features soft padding under the turf to provide a squishy space for fun.
The space opens in time for the first day our K-8 move to Mission on Monday, November 28.

Big shoutout to Coach Mike Ackrell, Papa di Bellamy (Grade 3 Aranconi) for coaching the team during the entire pandemic. The team (mixed 3rd and 2nd graders) have been kicking the ball around every Wednesday at the Marina Green (mask and all) for the last year. The games have been intense and there have been some big wins and some great learning moments. This year's pictures show their aspiration to make it big one day.
