On Thursday, June 2 CESJDS students who participated in a winter or spring sport came together for the annual Winter and Spring Sports Banquet. At the banquet, students ate and listened to their coaches talk about the season. The coaches also handed out awards to whomever they thought were the most committed and important athletes to their respective teams.

Each team’s coach gives the Lion’s Award to the athletes who display the highest level of skill in their sport, as well as being a great teammate both on and off the field/court.

The Coach’s Award is given in each sport to the athletes who show a high level of dedication to their sport and team, always working and training to improve their skills.

Each team’s coach gives the Sportsmanship Award to the athletes who show great respect for their sport, team and opponents throughout the season.
