My Students

My students represent a wonderful slice of Brooklyn's diversity. Our middle school students come together to form a community that celebrates a wide range of experiences, backgrounds, and learning styles. One way our student body coalesces is around sports.

At our school, running club aims to provide a rewarding athletic experience for all students, regardless of ability.

Students work together to build personal fitness, develop friendships, and compete as a team in cross country and track meets across the city.

Middle school is a critical time of personal development for all students. Our runners get a valuable opportunity outside the classroom to make connections, challenge themselves, and grow in important ways that will set them up for success in the future.

My Project

There's nothing like getting out after school to go for a jog with the running club. It's a great way to stay in shape, reduce stress, and build friendships with teammates who will compete together throughout the year. Running club is popular at our school because it's open to all and it doesn't require much equipment.

But something as simple as an extra t-shirt can be a barrier.

Some students don't have a change of clothes to train in. Wearing their school uniform to practice is the only option. Many students wear the same school uniform shirt several times during a week so getting it all sweaty at track practice is not pleasant.

These training shirts will give girls and boys on the team the chance to be comfortable during practice without having to worry about what they're going to wear to school the next day. Please donate to help us keep running club a welcoming and fun experience for all students at our school.
