The University of Kentucky Women’s Basketball team has invited the jump rope team to perform at half-time of their game on December 6. 

They have also provided an attendance challenge for us to have during the month of November!  Once the month is over, each student from each grade who received perfect attendance for that month is eligible to win the honor of being introduced on the court at the game. All students who are eligible should have their name thrown into a hat, with the winner picked at random. For example then, once the month is over, we will send a list of 6 names to UK, one for each of K-5 to represent their grade.  That student will receive a coupon for free admission for themselves AND a guest to attend the game. 

At the game, the school will be recognized as being in attendance and the 6 children will be introduced either at halftime or during a timeout on the court at Memorial Coliseum.

So, who’s class will have the best attendance?
