Hard work isn’t usually fun.

Basketball, obstacle courses, soccer and kickball are.

Such was the scenario for more than 150 students at Beaupre Elementary in Aurora. On Monday, they were rewarded for months of good behavior with an open gym with Triple Threat. Student accrued “Paw points” throughout the school year and could redeem them on an afternoon of sports and events with Triple Threat.

Congrats to all the youth at Beaupre on their hard work. Turns out hard work can be fun.
