"I like coming to GEAR UP/ASPIRE because of the
clubs and because of the tutors. Since I joined GEAR
UP/ASPIRE after school program, my grades have
come up. I think this after school program helps our
school a lot,”
says
Cristina Torres, 8th grader at NPMS.

LEARN is pleased to announce the formation of our Teacher

Q: What do you like about the
KidsPlay program and your coach?

A: “It’s fun and I enjoy playing in it.
My coaches are very encouraging and
they are willing to learn with us.”
- Jacob Trujillo (6th Grade)

A:  “It’s pretty cool because no
matter if you’re short or tall when we
make a shot, you get a really good
feeling inside. The coaches teach us a
lot of stuff, like how to be aggressive
and to use our bodies to the best of
our advantage. They also teach us
about sportsmanship and they
encourage us all the time.”
-  Veronica Torres (6th Grade)
