Washington Elementary

The Washington ASES basketball team, composed of 3rd-5th graders, practiced every Friday afternoon for 3 months in preparation for the annual Boys & Girls Club Basketball Tournament. All of the players' hard work resulted in a 3-0 record in the morning bracket and a 1st Place trophy, which will be displayed in the main office at Washington.

Come support the team on Friday, April 6th ath 4:30PM as they play the McKinley ASES team (winner of the afternoon bracket) for ultimate bragging rights! The game will be played at the Boys & Girls Club, 401 Marina Blvd. Go Wildcats!

They jumped…and jumped...and jumped – nonstop for two consecutive minutes. In doing so, members of the Boys & Girls Club of San Leandro (BGCSL) at Washington Elementary – also known as ASES – have officially broken the Guinness World Record for Star Jumps (Jumping Jacks). The news comes after months of anticipation since the record-breaking attempt occurred last spring as part of a nationwide effort by Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) to have the most people doing Star Jumps in multiple venues simultaneously for two minutes.

The Washington Elementary ASES program contributed 86 jumpers to the official multi-venue total of 20,425. BGCA embarked on this initiative with its Clubs across the country and on U.S. military bases overseas through the organization’s Triple Play program. This program, supported by founding sponsor Coca-Cola and the WellPoint Foundation, encourages kids to eat a balanced diet, become more physically active and increase their ability to engage in healthy relationships.

Many thanks to Kathy Thompson. Washington's PE teacher, for serving as our official witness. And congratulations to all our student participants!
