Had a great day on Wednesday March 15th! Took about 70 students to San Antonio to watch the Spurs VS Mavericks! Great game went into Overtime! Unfortunately the Spurs lost! But I tell you to see the smiles and enthusiasm on these kids faces was priceless!!! They were able to get on the court and play a few games then we did Courtside Experience and watch some players warm up before the game! Then it was Whataburger for dinner as always Whataburger was amazing they gave each student a few string bag full of goodies!Then to top it off each student and adult received a Tim Duncan bobble head as part of the 50 year Anniversary Celebrating the Spurs in San Antonio! 🏀🏀🏀
