Student Spotlight: Anna S.

Branson School Online is home to amazing students who are involved in a variety of exciting activities. 

Student Spotlight for the week of Sept 28th: Anna S. 

Anna has been playing competitive fastpitch softball for most of her life. As a freshman, Anna recently made the varsity softball team with her local high school. She has started at catcher or 3rd base in every varsity game of the season! 

When high school sports end, Anna will rejoin her club softball team: Nightmares Fastpitch. 

During the 2020 Summer Season, Anna's 14u team placed 1st in the River Valley Brawl Tournament, 2nd in the June Jam Tournament and 3rd in Covid Bash Tournament.  

Congratulations Anna!  We are so proud of you!
