Success Academy 3rd Annual Spring Benefit

Today I attended Success Academy 3rd Annual Spring Benefit at Cipriani 42nd Street.  The event kicked of with a STEP performance followed by some wonderful speeches, including a keynote by Representative Hakeem Jeffries and Daniel Loeb

I am still not quite sure how I feel about charter schools, but it looks like Success Academy has definitely made an impact in many students' lives!

Thank you to Marc Leder of Sun Capital Partners for having me!

Here are some pictures from the event.

SASF Step Competition

Clipboard & Scorecards, ready to judge!

Today I was a judge at the SASF Step Competition at New Explorers High School in the Bronx. I was super excited when Deb from Sports & Arts in Schools Foundation (SASF) had asked me to judge - I never stepped, but always thought it was very cool and was happy to volunteer to judge!

When I arrived at the school, I had met a few of the other judges, who were all very nice and had done step in the past.  I was responsible for judging the teams based on "attire." Thank goodness, because I am not the most knowledgeable on stepping.

There were two different competitions, the "beginner" competition and the "advanced" competition.  Let me just say, all of the acts were AMAZING! 

By the end of the competition I was wanting to learn how to step and had one of the judges teach me!

MLK Day of Service 2015

Today I volunteered with Sports & Arts in Schools Foundation (SASF) for MLK Day of Service 2015 with Chris, Rocky & Matt at MS 499M in Harlem, NY.

At the school, we volunteered with the middle school students on a a few projects.  We made a peace quilt to express what we viewed peace to be, wrote thank you letters to the military and "bracelets of hope" for victims of domestic violence.

My friends and I found it interesting to see different perspectives everyone had on everything.  Nonetheless we all had a wonderful time meeting new people and volunteering together!
