Isla and Suvi are running the LA VUELTA Fun Run on Friday, May 3rd to raise money for their beloved school and we hope you’ll join us in supporting their efforts! One World Project is a Spanish language immersion school in our neighborhood in Brooklyn that focuses on community, caring, and cultivating understanding through multilingualism. Isla graduated from their preschool program and is currently an afterschool student, while Suvi is in their Universal Pre-K program. Isla and Suvi love their time at the school and have formed wonderful relationships with the amazing teachers, made lasting friendships with children of all different levels of Spanish-speaking, and created countless memories playing in the school’s garden and cooking recipes in the classroom. We are so grateful OWP exists, and want to do everything we can to make sure all families regardless of economic background are able to experience this unique approach to learning and nurturing community at OWP. Your support will not only give Isla and Suvi the motivation to run, walk or scoot across the finish line, but will directly benefit OWP’s Scholarship Fund and help close the funding gap for the Universal Pre-K program to make the school accessible to more families.
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.
