What an AMAZING day with Jim "Basketball" Jones!

Our Elementary and Middle School students were treated to an unforgettable assembly filled with energy, inspiration, and tons of fun!

Jim brought powerful, positive messages about perseverance, making good choices, and believing in yourself. All while keeping students completely engaged with hands-on interaction, exciting dance-offs, and jaw-dropping basketball tricks!

The gym was full of cheers, laughter, and school spirit as students participated and encouraged one another. It wasn’t just an assembly. It was an experience!

Students had a ball and left feeling motivated and empowered.

If your child was inspired and wants to keep the positive message going, Jim’s books are available for purchase on Amazon.

Thank you, Jim, for an incredible day of fun and inspiration!

Join us for Read Across America Week next week! Kona Ice will also be here Tuesday!
