Club Perry

Hello Pioneer, this article is about how the basketballs are back for basketball players! I'm Samuel Drabkin, and here is your recess news.

Have you noticed the basketball numbers going down when you play the game? If you are a basketball player like me, you probably have seen this. Just last week, the basketballs were down 4 in numbers! But now, they are all back! At least, to our recordings. They have returned 1 orange ball, the brown ball, and both red basketballs! Although we don't know who was nice enough to do this kind of action, we thank everybody who has contributed to our students here at Pioneer. Way to go, Pioneer!
