MRISA Tournament:  We are so excited to host the MRISA tournament.  The vision for the tournament:

• Goal of great sportsmanship; kindness to all; positive, peppy attitudes; great impression on how we run a tournament: Please talk about this with your students and advisory class
• Expectation of participation for all at some level: Let’s make sure that all students get to participate in at least one game!
• MS attendance at opening assembly to assist with building spirit (7:50 start getting students into auditorium; 8:00ish Opening Ceremony)
• Guaranteed attendance at all games to create exciting atmosphere for all players (with ES and MS groups assigned to cheer for other teams)  Operation Hoop It Up: Tournament Signups 
• Visible signs of spirit and welcome: Thank you all who are helping work on this!
