I’m running a 10K on March 15 to raise funds to cover the gap in costs that One World Project has that are not covered by tuition and state assistance. It’s also the perfect excuse to get some exercise and to get to talk about what this school means to me, and to do something meaningful for my kids!
Because of the good fortune and timing of my new job Nico and Violeta may finally be able to attend our dream school One World Project. I fell in love with this Spanish-immersion school and its ethic of training kids to have strong emotional cores after my mother-in-law Trish moved next door a few years ago. If you know me, you know how important it is for us to continue the traditions and culture that my mother Violeta (“nonna”) valued so much. We know she approves and would be thrilled about it. Any contribution goes a long way.
Gracias!
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.
