It's QA takeover at the San Diego Gulls STAR WARS night on January 31st at 6pm! Join Quantum Academy for an epic night of hockey at Pechanga Arena. This is a perfect holiday gift for the family.
Two amazing 8th grade students, Regan and Ella, are embodying the Quantum core values of "Creating, Persevering, and Impacting the Community" by designing and building a gaga ball pit for Quantum as part of their Girl Scout Silver Award! They are seeking to raise $400 in donations to build a Gaga Ball pit for our school, which will encourage physical activity, teamwork, sportsmanship, confidence, and more.
Gaga ball is a Fast-paced game played in a small octagonal or hexagonal pit. Players hit a cherry ball with their hands, trying to tag others below the knees. Last one standing wins!
You can help by donating using the QR code which links to Venmo profile @Michelle-Mattey. If more than $400 is raised, any additional donations will go towards purchasing sports equipment for the school.
Thanks for considering how you might support these incredible students with even a few dollars!
