Parent Night

Parent night is a night set aside to honor parents for helping their kids become basketball players. A good idea. And well-deserved. But don't you think the kids should plan and execute said parent night? I do. That's not how it works, at least at our school. How does it work at yours? At our high school, parent night is planned and carried out by the moms in the booster club. And they did a great job! It was a lot of work and we thank them. We received maroon and gold carnations, and notes from our kids during a pre-game introduction. Pictures were taken. A
half-time shoot out between the parents proved that most of our kids inherited their basketball skills from someone else. (Just kidding.) And to top it off, after the game that night, we had sloppy joes, chips and dessert. A wonderful evening. One I am sure each mom and dad will remember. Will our sons remember? I sure hope so.

For the girls swim team the girls carry it all out. The captains and seniors take care of getting the flowers and they tell the girls to please not ask for money for the flowers from their parent/s. Also the girls make cards or get candies for their parent/s, all they have to do is get a ride from one of the older girls.
