Yesterday, Jayden's entire 1st grade classes received a surprise visit from a few of the Sierra College Basketball players and the head coach of the team. Coach Fusano is Jayden's friend's Dad who also brought a few players last year to his kindergarten class. Jayden received special treatment again just like last year because Coach Fusano and his wife knew how much Jayden loves basketball. During the special visit, the first grade classes were all outside at the basketball courts and Jayden was chosen to play against the 6'++" players. He dribbled, crossed over on them and went to the hoop! The college players were ecstatic to see little tiny Jayden with his basketball skills! They were impressed and cheered him on! One of the players lifted Jayden up and had him dunk the ball too!

Later, in the cafeteria while Jayden was eating lunch, the players took the above picture with him. Out of 4 1st grade classes, Jayden was the only one who took a picture with the players (special treatment again)! Wow! What an exciting day for him. Thank you to Coach Fusano, Mrs. Fusano and Jayden's new friends from the Sierra College Basketball team for making this day so very special and memorable!
