  • Warrior Warmth: Fall Gear for Our Boys' Soccer Team

    We had an outstanding season! Our team not only claimed the title of conference champions but also made it to the IHSA regional finals. A heartfelt thank you for your generous donations; they allowed our boys' varsity soccer team to look and perform their best this year. Our players were well-prepared, and their hard work was evident both on and off the field.

    The materials provided allowed us to focus on skill development, sportsmanship, and strategic thinking, ultimately leading to a well-prepared team that showcased their hard work throughout the season. In practice sessions, we were able to emphasize both technical skills and the importance of camaraderie, which enriched our overall teaching approach. The positive atmosphere created by our new gear inspired the players to take pride in their performance and work harder as a cohesive unit.

    Our players' dedication was evident in their performance, and the support we received played a crucial role in our success. Thank you once again for believing in our team and helping us achieve our goals this season!”

Learning a new language can be very difficult and students can easily get frustrated. I would like to incorporate more hands-on features that can help students acquire a second language. I will be teaching Spanish this upcoming school year and would like my students to experience the Spanish speaking world. By incorporating VR images into my lesson, not only will student remain engaged, they will get to learn more about Spanish speaking countries. The VR camera will be an incredible addition to tool used for teaching Spanish. Most importantly, this camera will teach our students to view the world in thru a different lense and will give them a teaching experience that they never had.
