We had some special guests come to Gilbert Park today. They are tall and like to slam dunk....Yep, the Portland Trail Blazers!!! Our guests included Robin Lopez, Thomas Robinson, CJ McCollum, Earl Watson, Will Barton, and Victor Claver. They were accompanied by some Blazer assistant coaches, Blazer radio broadcaster Antonio Harvey, and of course Blaze the Trail Cat. They encouraged the students to read everyday, study, and listen to their teachers. The assistant coach's message was when you look and listen, you will learn. Antonio Harvey lead the students in a pledge to live, learn, and play. There was even some silly string spraying by the players on the students. Gilbert Park received an autographed basketball, the staff received t-shirts and tickets for opening night, and the school received an assembly they will never forget! Thank you BLAZERS!!!
That was one fun day!
