There are things in life that are bigger than a volleyball game. Cornell Grade Schoolโs 8th grade coach, Sarah Rients, was diagnosed with breast cancer at that start of this volleyball season. Our Prairie Central Junior High Volleyball family wants to show our support to both her and her team. We will have cookies for sale, as well as be accepting donations to her family to help with the costs that come with battling this disease.
