My Project

We are a small 582-student school that is grades K-12. My campus is filled with wonderful students who are eager to learn and anxious to excel in their sport. This is my second year at LBCPM and it is definitely a grassroots school where we do not have the resources that the larger campuses in the district receive. I have even had an old volleyball system donated by another school because we didn't even have a net last year. We do not have a gymnasium of our own so we practice at a neighboring Junior High School when their gym is not in use.

My goal for this project is to level the playing field by providing my kids with ample equipment to improve their game.

The students at LBCPM are special because even though we are a small school we have big ambitions and would like to follow our principal's vision to be an athletic powerhouse in our division.

Fundraising is hard because there are so few parents as opposed to the bigger campuses in the district.

This project is for 16 volleyballs.
