Reminder: Hoops For Troops

Set For May 11

For the second year in a row, the Newtown High School Peer Leadership group has organized a Student vs Faculty game that will raise money for veterans. The Hoops For Troops event is scheduled for Friday, May 11, and will be held in the high school’s main gymnasium at 6 pm.

The Hoops For Troops event will benefit the Wounded Warriors Project, which assists and provides support to returning service personnel from Afghanistan and Iraq.

Last year more than 50 students representing different clubs and sports teams at NHS played against 15 teachers. The teachers won the game last year, and the event raised $400 for the cause.

Requested donation for spectators is $2 per person. Baked goods will be available for purchase.
