My Project

These backpacks will help my students/soccer players to have a place to store their important items and gear that is needed for school and practice! We will look like one unified team with these backpacks to be able to represent our school well. As a high school soccer coach, I have seen how our girls feel more valued when we invest in them with quality materials and equipment. I'm hopeful these bags will increase their excitement surrounding school and soccer, and give them an opportunity to grow in responsibility. These girls show our community what it looks like to do all things with heart.
