The Houses that competed include; Sapphire House, Ruby House, Palms House, Tulips House and Unique ATL Babies put in their best and slot it out for sporting supremacy in the highly contested event.
In his welcome address, the Director ATL Schools, Mr. Okey Onyebuagu, said the event was not meant to showcase the school’s academic and sporting prowess, but was an avenue to gather parents, guardians and well-wishers to celebrate with the children, for their effort in academics and extracurricular activities. “What you see today is a culmination of massive and continuous effort put in by staff and our wonderful scholars.”
