Hoops for Steward

The students have been learning about opinion writing over the past few months. One of their assignments was to write about a way to improve Steward School or our classroom. A few students thought a basketball court would be a wonderful addition to our playground. They decided to form a committee "Hoops for Steward" and discussed ways to make a basketball court a reality. They met regularly, collected signatures of interested students and made posters. They also spoke at a whole school assembly to share their work with the school. 

Last Thursday, the Hoops for Steward Committee presented their ideas to the Topsfield School Committee. They shared how they got the idea, what they've done so far and fundraising ideas. The children also shared reasons why we should have a basketball court and supported their thoughts with details. 

One of the committee members was sick, but he was able to Face Time with the School Committee to share his part of the presentation. Now that's dedication!


I'm so proud of all the work the children have put into this project. They've definitely shown G.R.I.T.!
