The St. Francis Xavier Little Dribblers capped off a busy January by performing at a school pep rally Wednesday.
The Little Dribblers are comprised of second-graders from St. Francis Xavier Elementary School and coached by Nadia Maxwell. They practice basketball dribbling routines that are intended as an introduction to the game as well as a fun class activity.
The Little Dribblers performed at halftime of several St. Aloysius high school basketball games during January, as well as Wednesday’s pep rally.
The pep rally was also part of Catholic Schools Week in the U.S. Guest speakers, including first responders, Vicksburg mayor George Flaggs Jr., and Jackson Dicoese Bishop Joseph R. Kopacz came to address the Vicksburg Catholic School student body at other events throughout the week.
