Students at Palo Verde Middle School are passionate about sports. My students come from many different cultural backgrounds and have diverse interests. Many of my students come from disadvantaged circumstances and therefore, many of them do not have the opportunity to participate in team sports outside of school. Having the opportunity to have 35 basketballs, 30 volleyballs, 25 soccer balls, 20 badminton racquets and 2 new tetherballs will enable hundreds of students to participate in skill training in multiple sports. Participating in team sports improves social skills and sportsmanship and these skills will translate into the adult world. We pride ourselves at Palo Verde Middle School in building students with great character and participating in sports only enriches their growth in good character and citizenship.
