Student athletes at Beverly Vista Middle School (BVMS) are learning what it means to be “good sports.” The new (opened in August 2019) school had just wrapped up its winter inaugural basketball season when the COVID-19 closures took place.
“We were all first-year teachers in this scenario,” Co-Athletic Director Kelly Park, who has been a P.E. teacher for over 30 years, told the Courier. “We had a full-on fall season that was fabulous.” This included girls’ volleyball, flag football and cross-country. The winter season was girls’ and boys’ basketball, which they were able to compete at the beginning of March.
