Volleyballs and Ball Storage for Our Girls' Volleyball Team

Help me give my students Tachikara SV-5WS volleyballs and a volleyball storage cart.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Harper's classroom raised $403

This project is fully funded

My Project

I teach Health and Wellness and Physical Education (gym) to over 600 scholars in grades preK-8. My scholars are energetic and eager to learn!

I also coach several sports, such as volleyball, girls' soccer, and basketball.

While many sports teams have had their seasons put on hold the past few years due to COVID-19, we are excited to announce that we were able to hold our girls' soccer and basketball seasons this fall, and will be able to hold boys' basketball and girls' volleyball later this year! Our athletes work hard both in the classroom and on the volleyball court.

With your support, I would like to provide regulation-sized volleyballs to be used in PE class as well as in volleyball practice. This will help over 600 students learn the sport of volleyball each year, as well as let our volleyball team fine-tune their craft. We are so excited to see what they can achieve this year!

In addition, in order to keep our volleyballs and other sports balls safe and organized, we'd like to use a ball storage cart in our gymnasium. This will ensure that all of our equipment is accounted for, easily accessible, and safely stored.
