My students need new shorts for this upcoming season because uniforms are extremely expensive.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kalla Harris's classroom raised $527

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
These ladies are excited for this upcoming season. This group of dedicated girls put in work on and off the court. They know how important hard work is to improve their academic skills, as well as their volleyball skills. The love of volleyball, the joy it brings, and the satisfaction of a game played well, have only been possible through the support of family and friends up to this point.
We want ALL girls who have a love for learning and excelling, especially on the volleyball court, to be able to play!
As with most Chicago Public Schools, we are struggling to provide all of the necessary equipment for our team, and school fundraisers can only get us so far. Our students have been challenged to reach unthinkable academic goals, yet they need an outlet to experience a normal high school environment via sports and extracurricular activities. The financial burden is too great for many students to pay for all of their own equipment, causing some girls to be intimidated from even trying out. YOU can help change that!
My Project
Shorts might not seem like a big deal to some, but they are important for our team. Every little bit helps, and more girls will be able to travel to tournaments if they have one less thing to pay for.
When a team looks good, they feel good, and when they feel good, they become unstoppable.
Not too many things have been handed to these ladies, so what better gift than to help them in something they already work hard for? Last summer the girls conditioned three days a week and we saw huge improvements during our season. With your help, we could go a long way this fall!
