News and Notes

Cory McCloskey from Fox News 10 did his morning weather broadcast from our field this morning.

Everyone got to watch the Fox 10 helicopter land in our field.  We were able to learn from the pilot what it's like to fly around Arizona and report the news.

Thanks to parent Melissa Hasson for helping arrange this exciting event!

Congratulations to coach Adam Zweiback and the 5th and 6th grade soccer team!!

Pardes beat a 6th grade team from Fountain Hills, which has hundreds of middle school students, by a score of 2 to 1.

The second game, against Tesseract, went to sudden death. Our girls lost, but played an awesome game. We're very proud of them!

The championship game featured PCDS against Tesseract. Tesseract won 8-2. Coach Ryan Johnson said, "As I watched this game, it was clear that Adam had coached our girls very well, in that we almost knocked off an undefeated Tesseract team, we were missing several key players, and Tesseract won by such a large margin in the championship game. The kids were fantastic, and I must give Adam lots of credit for his efforts."

Thanks to Jason Zaks for coaching our Basketball squads which finished 7-2 and 4-4!!

Now on to Soccer and Softball - Go Panthers!!
