I keep thinking about the empty gym floor my son will face next year if this decision holds. I have been spending my evenings drafting formal requests for a meeting with the board members to show them exactly what these programs mean to our kids.

Seeing this kind of momentum reminds me why my own kids fell in love with these programs in the first place. It is heartening to know so many neighbors care just as deeply about protecting these opportunities for our children.

Kids learn way more on the court then they do sitting on the couch playing video games all afternoon. Reconsider this.
TOTAL B.S. keep the programs!!!!
Bad move. These kids need basketball to stay active and learn to be on a team. What are they supposed to do after school now?
The board made this decision behind closed doors. We deserve to know why you are cutting healthy activities for 5th graders.
My son was so looking forward to this. Why take away sports from kids this age? It makes no sense.

My daughter is heartbroken about cheer. It gave her so much confidence. Please bring it back.
