We're Getting Stronger!
Funded Dec 22, 2021
I am utterly humbled by your generosity to my student-athletes. The items you helped to provide are like rays of sunshine on a gloomy day. Most of my students do not have opportunities to eat healthy snacks nor do they have regular access to healthy drinks. Hence, with you altruistic hearts, I am able to provide students with additional healthy snacks to help them to make it through the day. Oftentimes, educators don't realize, if a child is hungry or concerned about acquiring basic necessities, that student cannot dedicate their thoughts fully on the lesson that the teacher is presenting neither will their minds be focus on plays the coach is explaining. I am a grateful soul. Thank you for your support.”
With gratitude,
Coach Grisby
This classroom project was brought to life by Panda Cares and one other donor.

Our project "Stay Strong" will afford our student-athletes the opportunity to focus on conditioning, as well as their academics. It will also inspire our athletes to demonstrate determination to succeed in all aspects of their lives. Many of our student-athletes struggle, due to emotional stressors that surround them at home. When student-athletes have access to basic necessities, they become better students and more determined athletes. They begin to take initiative in build a foundation for a successful future. Also, they set and accomplish their goals. Hence, their success is inevitable.
