5 Star Scholars Accept New Challenge...Basketball
Funded Dec 15, 2019Thank you so much for your generous support! All four teams were called into our Student Center where they got to open up the boxes of items. Immediately you could see their eyes light up and widen when they saw what was inside. It was amazing to see the smiles and excitement on every single face. All I could hear was the students wishing the day would go by quicker so they can be at practice to try our the new equipment. At the start of every practice we would have a warm up shoot around and I would often catch the students just staring at the ball in their hands.
Each practice was a fun experience and the team was eager to learn all about this amazing sport. We had days where we, the coaches, noted that the students were tired and out of energy. I can not begin to express how amazing it felt when they were able to lift and push each other. Seeing all the camaraderie that was developed during practice is what every coach hopes for. A team filled with players that strives to do their personal best, while still having great sportsmanship is every coaches dream. This was all possible because of your donations.
This has been one of the best experiences of my life and I hope to be able to do this again next year, but for now I am filled with gratitude and glad I was blessed with this opportunity. I look forward to the new challenges that await in the near future.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Rodriguez

It was amazing to see the smiles and excitement on every single face. At the start of every practice they picked a pinnie to use and I would often catch the students just staring at the ball in their hands.

This has been one of the best experiences of my life and I hope to be able to do this again next year, but for now I will be heading off to coach basketball in the upcoming winter season. I am hopeful to have similar support with this new sport and look forward to this new challenge.”
