a photo of the ping pong club with their high school mentors

Thanks to an incredible initiative started by New Rochelle High School students (and Jefferson alumni!) Santiago and Zully Contreras Velona, the new after-school Ping Pong Club is a massive hit.

The high school volunteers are mentoring 3rd and 4th graders, teaching them table tennis basics alongside valuable lessons in teamwork, kindness, and perseverance.

"I had a lot of fun. I didn’t realize that I would sweat so much and move around as much!" — Addam D., 4th grader 💦
