My Project

We would like to bring to your attention an urgent matter regarding the need for new volleyball poles at our school. The current poles have posed significant challenges for our students during volleyball practice and games. Regrettably, the existing poles lack proper weight, resulting in instability and potential safety risks. As a temporary solution, students have resorted to standing on the poles to keep them steady, which is far from ideal. It is crucial for our students to have a safe and conducive environment to develop their volleyball skills. Therefore, we kindly request your support in providing new volleyball poles that are appropriately weighted, ensuring stability and reducing the risk of accidents. With your assistance, we can create a safer and more enjoyable experience for our students as they engage in this fantastic sport.
