3rd Place in Volleyball tournament

I somehow became the coach of the 7th grade girls' voleyball team a few weeks ago and took a bunch of students up to Taipei last weekend for an all day tournament at Taipei American school. Four teachers and about 40 students took a 5-hour bus ride up to Taipei on Friday and we spent the night on the floor of a school's gymnasium. On Saturday, the day of the tournament, there were 6 schools from all over Taiwan and there were 99 games played over the course of the day. The kids had a great time and my team won third place in the tournament (out of 12 schools). Fortunately, when we left Taipei on Saturday evening, the kids were so tired that they slept oo the bus. A really fun but completely exhausting weekend. I really bonded with many of my students and have already seen the positive effects in my classroom. Photos below of my silly, quirky and weirdo children.
