MidSun Dunks for Dollars with their Annual Charity Basketball game VS the Mount Royal University Cougars

Our Senior boys and girls basketball teams joined forces today against a highbred team of mens and ladies players from the Mount Royal University Cougars basketball team.  The teams played in a fun-filled fast paced game while our whole school cheered on.  The game was refereed by our own zany Mr. Harris while Ms. Amirault called the play by play.  The half time show had students from grade 7, 8 and 9 pulled from the audience for a shooting completion with the winners taking home a special edition lakers T-shirt.  The school and the University were joining forces to raise money for Right to Play, a charity whose mission is to use sport and play to educate and empower children and youth to overcome the effects of poverty, conflict, and disease in disadvantaged communities.
