🏐🔥 Serve it up, Cardinals!

Our Advanced PE students were bringing the heat on the volleyball court! From big serves to long rallies, these Cardinals showed off their skills, teamwork, and competitive spirit. ❤️🖤

Lots of laughs, lots of energy, and maybe a few “MINE!” moments along the way! 😂🏐

That’s how we do PE! Go Cardinals! ❤️🖤 #proudcardinal
