In the Know!
Harlem Wizards Event: (please let me know if you would like to represent LES!) On May 4 we have an event and we would like to have a teacher or staff member from your school play on our St. Mary's All-Star team. Our team will play a fun game of basketball against the World Famous Harlem Wizards (like the Harlem Globetrotters).
This is a fun game so they do not have to know how to play basketball :-)
The game is being held at St. Mary's College in their gym. The game starts at 6:30 and doors open at 5:30
