My Project

Our middle school girls' basketball team is well underway in their season. The student athletes need new basketballs to set their skills on fire. The right size and quality basketball will provide them with game day experience during practice. Practice makes perfect and the basketballs will help them get there! Students on the basketball team are required to hold a high average in every academic class. Our student athletes benefit in the classroom with the motivation of sports. My students are focused this year on the basketball court and in the classroom.
