As part of National Sportsmanship Week the Inter-Lakes Student Athletic Leadership Council (SALC) held a sportsmanship essay contest. Students in grades 3-8 in the Inter-Lakes School District were asked to answer the question, "Why is Sportsmanship Important to Me"? The female winning essay was written by 4th grader Olivia Jenkins (center). Olivia read her essay before the boys' basketball game on February 5 and was presented an Inter-Lakes Athletics t-shirt. Pictured with her above are members of the SALC - Caitlin Rotonnelli (left) and Sarah Dunlap (right). (Courtesy photo)
