Our school serves school students grades 9 through 12 and is located high on a hill overlooking the city. Students come to our school to get credits to graduate. Every student can choose a project based class like music, theater, or outdoor education each semester.
Students enjoy outdoor activities & they need sports equipment so they can play volleyball together. Several students are eager to learn how to play volleyball too.
After some physical exercise breaks, most students are able to have better focus of classwork.
Students will be learning a new sport. They will learn the steps for playing volleyball, work together across the courts & learn to win or lose in a sportsmanlike manner. These skills will help them in class as they work on projects.
They will also learn to work as a team, take turns & plan strategies with team members.
In Their Own Words
We want to have volleyball at our school but we don't have any equipment. We learned some volleyball terms, like it is ok to be a "hitter" during volleyball (but not in regular school!!! If we get this equipment we will be able to learn all about volleyball. - Maria
We will work hard to let people know about this grant (even our teachers!) When we get all the volleyball equipment & the jump ropes we will help find a safe place to store everything. We will take turns setting up the volleyball nets & teach some other students to help, too. - Maria & Michelle
Everyday a lot of students just stand or sit around during lunch. Some students work in the garden but it is small so only a few kids can go there. Some of the students play with some old basketballs but most of us don't have much of a chance for activities like jump rope & volleyball. With these supplies we will become more active & fit!!!
