We would like to take a moment to recognize our seniors for the commitment and outstanding effort and contributions. Many of them have been with us for all four of their years in high school. Last year, the North Shore Key Club created a basketball tournament event to raise money for Autism speaks. Many students enjoyed it so much that they asked when the next one would be. We couldn't let them down and just had our second (now annual) "Alley-Oops for Autism" event, which is now one of our biggest events. We are happy to announce that this year's event raised thousands of dollars in support for Autism speaks and we look forward to more success and an opportunity to unite the community through basketball to fundraise for Autism speaks in the future.
