My name is Tomas Arango and I’m a former student from the graduating class of 2017 at Science Leadership Academy located in Philadelphia. Sports are very important to a student's High School experience but when the Philadelphia School District took big hits when budget cuts were put into place, many programs, including sports in schools were left unfunded.
As captain of the Cross Country team, I decided to take action to raise money for our team. With the money raised, I want to leave a fund in place for team as well as more fundraising for following seasons. Working with Coach Giknis, we were able to coordinate and plan for future seasons. This team has been like a family throughout my time in high school, and I wanted to leave a mark behind when I graduated. |
