PS 107/124 MARATHON WATCH PARTY
It's a long-standing track team tradition to gather on 4th Avenue and 12th Street to cheer for the runners of the NYC Marathon. (Keep an eye out for Track Coach Leslie, and many others running this year!) Meanwhile our sister school, PS 124, sets up a huge bake sale on 4th ave & 13th street. It's one of their biggest fundraisers of the year. So when you're thirsty and hungry from all your yelling, go grab a snack, just down the block! Just like last weekend (see the picture below) running is bringing our schools together.
Join the PS 107/124 Community Outreach WhatsApp! Families are in need of clothing, pots & pans, and diapers. Please chime in if you can help! Join here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/
