We need your help.  Our girls have qualified and been invited to attend the USA / ASA 10-Under Nationals scheduled for July 27 - August 2 in Johnson City, Tennessee. 

This is a wonderful, once in a lifetime opportunity for our girls.  We are the only 10 & under team representing the state of Florida. This is the first time in 10 years that a team from Sarasota has qualified for this prestigious National Tournament. 

Within the last two months, our Heat girls have won the following tournaments to become the ASA Champions, the NSA Eastern Regional Champions and the NSA S.W. State Champions. 

Please take a moment to view the attached flyer for more information.

We know how important reading is for success.  In an effort to assist our girls, the team is enacting a Reading Program.  This program will track the girls "AR" points and reward them for reading.  Keep these few rules in mind:

• The girls should be reading books at or above their lexile level
• Books on tape are ok if, and only if, the girls are reading along with the tape
• Parents should request printouts from the girls teachers with the list of books read, lexile level, and test results

Ms. Shannon is in charge of this wonderful program and all questions, comments, concerns and updates should be presented to her.
