My Project

Four years ago, with the help of my principal, we created the school's first competitive soccer team. Every year, the team gets faster, stronger, and more intelligent. Those aren't the only areas of growth. There has also been an increase in leadership, teamwork, and responsibility from these students. We need your help to keep this momentum.

Equipment doesn't last forever.

It takes quite a beating during practices and games. Some of our soccer balls aren't holding air anymore, have rips to the cover material, etc. I would like to replace some of these soccer balls so we can continue to have enough equipment for practice. More practice equals continued growth.
