Catholic school dedicates basketball court

xnxfpgCSPFcourt0522.jpg

St. Andrew Catholic School students and teachers dedicated the school's new basketball court. The court was a present to the school from the graduating eighth grade class.

Parent Charlene El-Hage spearheaded the drive for the basketball court, and the eighth grade students raised the funds through fundraisers. St. Andrew Catholic Church Men’s Club helped make the court a reality when the club donated $15,000 they raised from a rained-out golf tournament.

The dedication ceremony began with Father George Puthusseril, pastor of St. Andrew Church in Coral Springs, blessing the court with holy water. Puthusseril then donned his shorts and joined the faculty team in a game against the eighth-graders. The students won the game, 29-20.
