Run for Knowledge

Battery Park City hosted yet another successful Run For Knowledge on the brisk and windy evening of Friday, October 12th.

	PS/IS 276 Kristal Aliyas,  Lucas Rotman and Sara Epstein

The event raised funds via running pledges, sponsors, and a finish-line festival to benefit P.S. 89, I.S. 289, and P.S./I.S. 276.

It is one of the only events that unites the spirit of the four schools all together, inspiring a sense of the larger BPC community.

When P.S./I.S. 89 opened in 1998-99 with an empty library, Run For Knowledge was created to raise funds for books.

Now, nineteen runs later, the event brings in enough revenue to stock both the 89 and 276 libraries and have additional funds leftover for enrichment programs.
