Timber Trail Elementary (TTE) Timberwolves took to the fields of Coyote Ridge Park for the school’s 12th Annual Mother and Son Kickball Tournament. Teams played single-loss elimination, with team Don’t Stop “Ball”ieving taking the overall win.
The tournament kicked off with the national anthem sung by fourth grade student Elise Avetisyan and music provided by Party Pro DJs. There are 64 new students across first through fifth grade and 32 kindergartners whose families are new to TTE this year.
New this year to TTE, fourth grader Elise Avetisyan sang the national anthem as a soloist. Avetisyan received support from her number one fan and little sister Margot (left) and TTE’s new music teacher Madison Armstrong.
Chelsey Nielson, a TTE parent said it was fun to get back together with the school community. She shared that after having kids attend TTE for seven years, she could not believe how many new families there were to meet. “It was exciting to have so many new kids and families at the event.”
