Palm Academy’s 5th/6th class participated in a soccer match with faculty on the school’s new soccer field, reported Desirae Mayes, revolving substitute. The class was selected for the game because they took first in a school attendance competition, having the fewest absences among the grades TK-8 at the school. The soccer game’s final score was teachers 5, students 2.
The school plans to continue its attendance challenge and may host another staff-versus-student game in the future, Desirae said, possibly featuring kickball.
