BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- Members of the Moravian College men's and women's basketball teams were at Nitschmann Middle School Thursday afternoon to take part in a Pep Rally to encourage a positive attitude towards school and academic achievement and to help them get ready for their upcoming testing program.

There were approximately 60 6th graders. The Greyhounds talked to them and answered questions in a classroom setting for 30 minutes and then participated in basketball activities for 30 minutes. The students and teachers appreciated our involvement and everyone had a great time.
