The high school boys and girls basketball teams lended a big helping hand last Saturday with the new playground equipment installation. The girls team helped at the Piper City building while the boys team spent their time in Kempton. A job well done by our teams and a great way to give back to our school and community!
The Lady Chargers used their drills and drive to help set up the new playground at Piper City. Bouncing balls or working drills, nothing scares them! #PointLandUSA #smallbutymighty
Building playgrounds and team culture is how the TPHS Basektball student-athletes spent their Saturday. Thanks, to the girls and boys Charger Teams.
