3 on 3

John Hay holds a 3 on 3 basketball tournament each year that anyone can sign up for. Noah was invited to join a team which I tought was awesome since he's new and has never played basketball!

I offered to tie dye shirts for them and they named themselves the tie dye tigers. 

I went to watch and it was so fun! The kids were pretty terrible at basketball but they were having a great time. For Noah's first game they ended up tied and then they did a shoot out. Noah won the shoutout with a great shot!

They lost their second game but won their third which gave them a third place finish in the third grade. 

The tournament was a fundraiser for the school. There are lots of fundraisers all the time because nearly all the specials and extra events are paid for by the pto.

At first I was bothered by that but when I think about it, the taxes are about half what we paid in PA and then we support our own children's education. However, there is a wide gap here in the Seattle public schools between schools with strong pto organizations and those with weaker ptos.  

In any case, it was a really fun time for Noah and I was so grateful that he was invited to be on a team!
