Issa is a 3rd grade student, whose journey in swimming has been nothing short of remarkable. From his first tentative strokes to confidently growing as a swimmer, his transformation has been a joy to witness. Not only has he found excitement and joy in swimming, but this progress has significantly bolstered his confidence and motivation. His pride in his swimming achievements is palpable when he yells out “I did it!! Did you see it!”

Football is time-consuming and can be financially challenging, so Asphalt Green’s free program is a great opportunity for our community. The goal is to give kids the skills and experience early on, so when they’re older—around 14 or 16—they have the option to pursue football seriously if they want to. We want to ensure they have an option to play at a higher level, whether that’s in high school or even college.

Asphalt Green has been a very positive and necessary program for PS110! The students look forward to recess, where coaches build positive and long-lasting relationships with the kids. PS 110 and our students are very lucky to have this program.
