Serve! Volleyball Gear For Middle School Girls Team

Help me give my students gear to start their first official volleyball season! Our 6th-8th grade girls will be playing other schools in a regular season for the first time, and they need uniforms to make it official.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Taylor's classroom raised $532

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school is implementing athletics to help our middle school scholars engage.

We will be playing our first official games this year against other schools, and we want to create a sense of camaraderie through uniforms that show our girls are ready to play as a team.

More than winning, we are hoping to foster a sense of community between our students that helps them see their progress in working towards a common goal.

We already have the jerseys, so we are asking for knee pads, sweatbands, socks, and shorts.

Thank you for championing our students!
