These young Rising Bearcats learned the fundamentals of an Attack Stance, loading the basketball, and putting their follow through in the cookie jar. 🏀🍪
They split up into station work and focused on dribbling, passing, footwork, and developmental shooting defensive stances.
There were also contests to finish up with Lay ups and Dribble Knockout. 🗑️⛹️♀️⛹🏼
Brookland School District is proud to announce the addition of Mr. Chris Moss as Assistant Superintendent. Mr Moss began his career in education with Marion Public Schools and has spent the last 11 years serving the Nettleton School District in a variety of roles, including high school teacher, coach, Dean of Students, and most recently, as Principal of Nettleton Junior High.
He holds a bachelor’s, master’s, and Ed. specialist degree from Arkansas State University and he is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Change Leadership from the University of Central Arkansas.
"I am passionate about student-focused leadership and believe every decision in education should be made through the lens of what is best for kids. I'm excited to join Superintendent Kennedy and the outstanding administrators, faculty, and staff of Brookland. I can't wait to meet the students, families, and community that make up the Bearcat family!"
From Mr Slater, but I wanted to share. We are thankful for their commitment to our student athletes.
Tonight marks the culmination of an era for the Slater and Newton families. Shonna Slater played a vital role in the Boosters' inception. While I took jobs with other schools, Brookland has remained a focal point. Throughout her tenure, Shonna has demonstrated remarkable adaptability as a member, officer, and President. Her selfless commitment to enhancing the basketball programs has been inspiring. From the 1st Meet the Bearcats to overseeing numerous fundraisers, designing t-shirts, and mentoring concerned parents (having successfully guided three children through the program), Shonna has embodied the spirit of a Bearcat, frequently going unrecognized. Her tireless efforts warrant substantial recognition. We express sincere gratitude to Mrs. Shonna for her trailblazing leadership, unwavering loyalty, and dignified completion of her role. A rejuvenating vacation is imminent; I hope to take care of that soon.
