🏐 Today, Andie returned to Benavides Elementary, the very school she once attended as a student; to read Andie’s Big Serve to 200 more students, bringing the total to 300 young readers impacted this week.

Standing in the same elementary school halls where her own dreams first began, Andie shared her story of overcoming doubt, working hard, and believing in herself. Students listened, smiled, asked questions, and saw firsthand that someone from their very own school can grow up to achieve big dreams.

Accompanied by the Pace High School Volleyball Team, this experience became more than a reading event; it became a full-circle moment of inspiration, representation, and hope for the next generation.

Every student received a free copy of Andie’s Big Serve, reminding them that confidence grows through perseverance, effort, and never giving up on yourself.

From Benavides Elementary student…
to college volleyball athlete…
to inspiring 300 students at the school where it all started. 💫
