Students at LMPS (Lakeland Middle Preparatory School) will play in the first-ever student/faculty basketball game at 3 p.m. Friday (2.21.20) in the school gym.
Cindy Brock, a parent of one of the student players, said it is a PTO-sponsored fundraiser for the 8th grade formal dance in May. She said it is the first year for the game, with advance admission $3 and $5 admission the day of the game.
“Anyone is welcome to come cheer on either (or both) teams,” said Mrs. Brock.
