My Students

Billy Jean King once said, "Sports teach you about life character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose-it teaches you about life."

Our school is filled with amazing young men and women that come from a variety of backgrounds.

They use sports as an outlet to succeed in life. While some may not be successful in the classroom, but on a sports team is they find their way to success.

My Project

Our 8th-grade basketball boys and girls teams represent our school by traveling around our conference area. While traveling to opposing schools, students like to have the look of uniformity similar to college and professional teams. Students have such pride in making their school basketball team. They want to represent their school in the best manner they can.

Our 8th-grade students would love new bags and bottles to use to represent their school.

Due to COVID, everyone must have their own bag for their belongings and their own water bottle. Many of our students come from low-income families who are unable to supply these items.
