Using the Rocketbook to Lift-off
Funded Feb 15, 2018Thank you so much for helping to fund this project. Through your generous donation, we will be able to enhance the academic and athletic programs of our students. Our students work very hard navigating the rigor of Brooklyn Tech and the commitment of being a STEM student-athlete. Your support goes a long way towards helping them reach their long term and short term goals.”

Funded Feb 13, 2017There is so much that goes into preparing for a football season. Paperwork, visits with parents, and workouts in the weight room are just a few of the many things we need to do to get ready for our season. Help from those outside the program really boosts the morale of our over 80 players, coaches and parent's club supporters. Donorschoose.org, and your fantastic support, help to set up our program for success.
We measure success by more than wins and losses. Our program focuses on creating servant leaders that participate in community service and understand how important it is to give of themselves. Your example of giving serves as a positive model to them.
They were so excited to see that their old flat footballs had been replaced by some new ones. In addition, the wrist coaches we use take a tremendous beating, so they were equally excited about the new Under Armour ones that they received.
We were also so thankful that Dick's Sporting Goods helped to match our donations. They really go a long way to help support sports on the local level.
If you are ever in Fort Greene on a Saturday, please come see the team in action. They are better today because of your support and we couldn't appreciate it more.”

Funded Feb 9, 2016May 1, 2016
As we begin our spring practice, I would like to express my gratitude for your donation to the DonorsChoose initiative we put forth in February. We will begin using the new footballs and wristbands purchased when we practice today and throughout the spring and fall. The new resources will benefit both our Junior Varsity and our Varsity programs as we provide them with fundamental skills development with the ball. We are happy to note that all of our individual coaches have enough footballs to instruct their players and we are going to be a better football team because of it.
Our players were really excited when they saw the new footballs. They began to use them in the gym during the late winter and now get to use them on the field during our May practices. During the month of May, our donors can feel free to come down to football practice from 830am-1030am on Saturdays to see the footballs in action. In addition, the wristbands that were part of the package will help us to perfect our no huddle offense and score more points.
Thank you all again for participating in our program, we really appreciate it.”

Mr. McKenna
