Our Felicity basketball season is only a few weeks away from ending! Felicity is a proud member of the Chicago Area Alternative Education League. CAAEL, a not-for-profit organization, has been providing a full spectrum of academic, athletic and art programs to the Chicagoland area’s youth since 1976. Each year, CAAEL offers 1100+ events to 5,000 students from 30 Illinois counties. Working together, building a team like atmosphere, and coming together to achieve a common goal, are three important parts of the Caael program we try our hardest to achieve!
Caael is not about having the best record in the league or winning every game. The goal is to give students a reward for their academic success in the classroom. If students reach an academic goal set by their teacher, and want to participate on the team, they get to spend a chunk of their Friday’s playing against another school in the Caael program. When Felicity travels to an away school for a game, students are treated on the way back to a lunch outside the building!
We have one away game, and one home game left in the season! After basketball season, we move onto either Softball, or Soccer, depending on how many kids show interesting in signing up!
