This Friday is <b>Logan M </b>and <b>Quinn Mc’s </b>birthday, and they both played with great energy and fantastic skill when we played Ultimate Football.

In our game of whiffle ball <b>Connor C, Roman K, and Brady L</b> all hit at least one home run. <b>Tommy R </b>stood out in our lacrosse game and shootout, scoring multiple goals and even some assists. We also had a soccer shootout, and <b>Major R and Matt W </b>both were important components in their team winning the game. In our game of Poison, which is a form of dodgeball, <b>Addie G, Koen R, and Tyler H </b>were able to get many outs while avoiding getting hit themselves. In the pool, <b>Charlotte A and Sarah D </b>were fantastic swimmers. When we competed with some older groups when playing Kick Ball, <b>Noah C,</b> <b>Madison Z, and</b> <b>Anjay B </b>still stood out with some outstanding kicks. During 9 square<b>, Quinn Ma </b>was the reigning champion, remaining as king almost the entire game. <b>Julia G and Chris H </b>both had some key hits and defensive plays in Tennis Baseball.
