The boys and girls basketball teams of Mill Valley High School created two role-play scenarios to help kick off May 2005 as Fairness Month. The effort arose from a collaboration between the Pythons Sports Association and De Soto Unified School District 232.

The basketball teams then presented their role plays to some 1,000 students from Prairie Ridge and Clear Creek Elementary Schools. "The high school student athletes did a fantastic job of coming up with their own content and presenting the scenarios," said Brian Hunter, executive director of the Pythons Sports Association.

The skits set forth complex problems and refrained from offering simple answers to them. At the end of each act, athletes asked students for potential solutions. They had an active discussion about how they would resolve the issues. It "was done in a very engaging and often humorous fashion which keep the audience actively participating and enjoying the presentation," said Mr. Hunter. "In the end both the presenters and the audience had a great time and it's hard to determine who benefited more from these terrific performances."
