Finn Hill Junior High wishes to thank the Kirkland Youth Council. With the help of a mini grant of $550, the school was able to purchase two ping-pong tables and form a Table Tennis Club that meets in the morning.

The club provides a safe place for students to congregate before school. It is a relaxed atmosphere where they can socialize and perform cardio activity in a fun setting. Early morning exercise sharpens the mind and prepares it for learning. Kids are able to learn the benefits of team play and boost their sense of self-worth through accomplishment.

The students put together the tables themselves, and are in the process of creating teams and tournament brackets. The club meets at 7:45 a.m. Thursday and Friday mornings.
