More than 175 students participated in the South High Charity Volleyball Tournament in November, raising $1,500 for the Nassau Suffolk Autism Society of America. The South High Girls Varsity Association has hosted this two-day tournament for over 25 years. Funds from this year’s event will benefit children and teens living with Autism.
In addition to a bracket-style volleyball tournament, this annual event also includes a costume contest and a rock-paper-scissor contest. Thirty-five teams entered the tournament as a fun way to show their athleticism, creativity, and school spirit.
The Girls Varsity Association is a service organization at South High dedicated to honoring female athletes, promoting school pride, and supporting charitable causes. The faculty advisor is Tara Schiereck, dean of students/physical education teacher.
