Our volleyball team has been busy getting ready for the upcoming season. This past week, the young ladies had their annual wacky tacky practice and over the weekend they participated in a community service project at St. Stephen’s Loving Daycare beside the Pfizer plant. During the recent tornadoes, St. Stephens lost their entire playground and landscaping around the building. These young ladies spent the morning out at St. Stephens before having a team luncheon. Thanks Coach Inman and Coach Thompson for leading these young ladies.
