On Wednesday, December 18, students in grades K-8 from St. Bernard School had the exciting opportunity to attend the UWGB Men’s Basketball Education Day game at the Resch Center. This annual tradition, now in its second year for our school, has quickly become a favorite field trip for many students. It was the perfect way to cap off the last week of school before Christmas break, blending education and fun in a high-energy atmosphere.
The Resch Center buzzed with excitement as students filled the seats, ready to cheer on the Phoenix. For many, it was their first time attending a live college basketball game, and they didn’t hold back their enthusiasm. Throughout the game, the students danced to upbeat songs played over the sound system and joined in the crowd’s cheers to support the players on the court. The energy was infectious, and the smiles on their faces showed just how much they were enjoying the experience.
Events like the Education Day game provide students with a unique opportunity to connect with their community and experience the thrill of collegiate athletics. It’s more than just a game; it’s a chance to learn about teamwork, perseverance, and school spirit in an engaging and memorable way.
As we look back on this year’s trip, we’re grateful for the moments of joy and camaraderie it brought to our students. Thank you to UWGB and the Resch Center for hosting such a fantastic event. We’re already looking forward to next year’s Education Day game and the memories it will create for our students!
