We moved to Windsor Terrace because of an amazing little Spanish immersion nursery school called One World Project. We fell in love with OWP because of their inquiry based philosophy of education, their commitment to the community, the Spanish language focus, and of course that they offered universal pre-k. We could not have imagined how great a decision this would end up being for us.
OWP is the center of our community. Rafa and Mila have both developed such a strong social and emotional foundation, a love for learning, and a foundational understanding of the Spanish language. As a family we have made lifelong friends.
Like so many small endeavors of its kind, OWP has struggled due to the pandemic. As a community, the fitting decision was made to commit to a healthy goal while raising funds to support OWP. I cannot wait to run this half marathon alongside so many friends, fellow OWP parents, teachers, staff and administrators!
I hope you will consider donating what you can for a cause that is very special to our family and friends!
On Saturday, March 21 we’ll be running or walking the Brooklyn Spring 5K, 10K a wonderful event that will allow all our team to pick the race that is best for them.
Friday, April 24 is La Vuelta. We’ll gather at One World Project and the kids (and some grownups) will run, walk or scoot along Vanderbilt, down East 4th, along Greenwood Avenue, and up East 3rd. After the loop, we’ll gather on the patio for a party with upcycled medals for all participants. In Spanish, la vuelta means loop, like the one we’ll do around the block. Vuelta also means return. If your children have grown and you are no longer part of our preschool or after school program please consider La Vuelta an invitation to return to OWP for a visit. We would love to see you!
On Sunday, April 26 we will join half marathoners for NYC Runs, an epic running journey. The route starts in North Brooklyn and winds around the waterfront taking you under the historic Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn Bridges. From there, the route heads up the grand concourses of Fulton Street & Flatbush Avenue before passing through Grand Army Plaza and into historic brownstone Brooklyn. We will turn into Prospect Park at mile 10 to complete our 13.2 miles.
With love and care we have built a nurturing school and community center committed to learning. We want to sustain what makes One World Project so special and grow our scholarship fund and support our Universal PreK program so that OWP is accessible to more families. Together we are working to raise $50,000.
We truly appreciate anything you are able to give.
