Middle Grades Partnership Students Attend PNC Tennis Classic

On November 21, 2008, 85 students and 40 staff members from City Springs School attended the PNC Tennis Classic at 1st Mariner Arena, courtesy of the Middle Grades Partnership (MGP).

Attendees witnessed Serena Williams, former world’s #1 ranked tennis player, compete with Elena Dementieva, the 2008 Olympic Women’s Tennis Singles Gold Medalist.

The PNC Tennis Classic provided The Middle Grades Partnership (MGP) with complimentary vouchers for students and staff at all MGP sites. Site director and staff member Rodney Toulson organized the trip for City Springs School.

We would like to thank Mr. Toulson, Sophia L. Rudisill (MGP Associate Director), Pam Shriver (Tennis Classic Founder and Chairman), Marc Kantrowitz (Managing Director, PHS Ltd./Charity Tennis Classic), and Gigi Wirtz (Director Communications, Baltimore Community Foundation) for making this wonderful opportunity available to our students.
