My Project

Our winter sports season is kicking off and our fifth-eighth graders are in need of uniforms and equipment to support their goals!

This will be our school's first basketball and cheer seasons in some years, so we are looking to outfit them in new uniforms that show our school's belief and investment in their success.

We are going to use the iron-on letters to personalize the uniforms to show our school spirit. We're also looking for new basketballs and other equipment. Help us champion our scholars as they ball, cheer, and score!
