Thanks to everyone who came out to support our ATS All Star staff in the basketball game against Tuckahoe on Friday! We had more than 400 ATS fans in attendance cheering on our team. It was an incredibly close game and we're so proud of the amazing effort put forth by our staff!

 

Special appreciation goes to *Lauren Mikoy* for organizing the event, as well as our emcee Melissa Thierry, referee Abbas Ravjani and the many volunteers who helped make the event a success: Kristen George, Kim Wilk, Carla Wilson, Victoria Metz, Dana Downey, Jodie Lockhart, Christina McMahon, Vanessa Thomas, Molly Beier, Jennifer DeLeon, Ellen Richard, Hannah Buchholz, Bridget Krieger, Ana Ivanoff, Pauline Devinger, Sabri Tahiri, and Dawn Williams. And a huge thanks to the color guard from Pack 632 for the presentation of our flags!

 

Concessions proceeds will support our sister schools through Reach for Uganda.
