The activities showcased at the banquet were High Quiz Bowl, Middle School Volleyball, Middle School Boys Basketball, High School Girls Basketball, and High School Boys Basketball.

There was also an academic letter to give out to one student at this banquet. That student was Gracelyn Lovejoy. To achieve this award, a student must do well in school, participate in a variety of extracurricular activities, and be generally involved in the school. A student must reach 150 points to get this letter. An ‘A’ on a report card is only worth 3 points, so it is a great accomplishment to receive this academic letter. 

Congratulations to all of the award-winners and participating students in South Shore’s winter extracurriculars!
