St. Gregory the Great Academy in Hamilton Square has been selected as a 2024 national finalist in the 2nd annual elementary school creativity contest sponsored by Jersey Mike’s Subs and the Harlem Globetrotters.

Dubbed the “Court of Creativity presented by Jersey Mike’s Subs,” this competition invites students and educators to display their inventive talents through projects related to the Harlem Globetrotters or basketball.

The challenge was open to public, private, and vocational schools with grades Kindergarten through 5th across the United States. Students across the country submitted entries ranging from basketball-themed math class to Globetrotters-inspired art and trick shot videos.

St. Gregory students Luke Pulaski, Lucas Betjer and Luke Doolan showcased their creativity through a stop-motion video. The teammates and best friends created an animation using over 700 photos. As a top 10 selection by a panel of judges, the academy has been awarded a $1,000 donation from Jersey Mike’s Subs. One grand prize winner will receive a visit from the Harlem Globetrotters before the end of the 2023-24 school year.
