🏈 What a Night for SPSD Elementary Flag Football!

Last night’s Elementary Flag Football Playoff Celebration was a great example of what happens when our community shows up for our students.

From the games on the field to the energy in the stands, it was a night filled with excitement, teamwork, and support. We were proud to have community partners like H.E.L.P., Team Loyalty, and the Michigan Arsenal arena football team join us—connecting with students, signing autographs, and adding to the experience.

A big thank you as well to T&T Authentic Mexican Cuisine for keeping everyone fed and energized throughout the evening.

Most importantly, our student-athletes showed what hard work, discipline, and teamwork look like.

🏆 The championship game takes place on Wednesday, May 6—we hope to see the community back out again to support our students!
