The students are SO excited. We are a few weeks into volleyball season, and they are anxiously awaiting more sports to come.\r\n\r\nI wish I could show you all the look on students' faces when they see our new, fully-stocked equipment cart. It has been too long since our school has had access to brand new sports equipment. Their excitement is truly contagious! Our student athletes have been doing a great job taking care of the equipment. We have a newfound sense of school pride as we arrive to our volleyball games with everything we need to play hard and have fun. I can't wait to watch our Winter and Spring sports teams have this same experience.\r\n\r\nOur student athletes are some of the most amazing kids I've ever met. They are so deserving of all of the fun, growth, and community that comes with playing on a sports team.
