Sabrina Hernandez, 8th grade CMS, went to Florida last month to try out for a spot on the US Women’s National Deaf Soccer Team and she made the team.  She is the youngest, at 14 years old, and will be playing in the Deaflympics this July in Sofia, Bulgaria, hopefully for the team to win a third Gold Medal.

The team is having an amazing raffle and selling tickets for $10 each, to raise funds for the trip since each girl needs to raise $5000.00.  Please support Sabrina in this amazing event. The website is www.usadeafsoccerraffle.blogspot.com. Also to learn more about the team, please visit www.usdeafsoccer.com. Congratulations Sabrina Hernandez!
