🏒❄️ The Kips Bay Mustangs have officially taken the ice! Our brand-new Kips Bay Ice Hockey team is now competing against local teams across New York — and we couldn’t be prouder. Watching kids from the Bronx step onto the ice, compete with confidence, and grow through the game is truly inspiring. 💙 Come out and support your new favorite hockey team — the Kips Bay Mustangs! 🐎🔥

📚💙 Share the Fair w/ Scholastic makes a difference! Share the Fair is a giving program that helps support Kips Bay students who need assistance purchasing books during the Book Fair. Every child deserves the joy of choosing a book to take home — no one should leave empty-handed!

Honoring Black History Month at our PS 304 site ✨🖤 Our fifth graders kicked off the month by creating “I Have a Dream” mobiles after learning about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic speech and discussing the importance of Black History Month. These thoughtful reflections opened the door to deeper conversations about history, impact, and legacy — and this is just the beginning of our learning this month. #BlackHistoryMonth #KipsBayPS304 #KipsBayStrong #MLK #GreatFuturesStartHere

🎓 2nd Annual Kips Bay Scholars Luncheon Last week, Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club proudly hosted our 2nd Annual Scholars Luncheon at The Lotos Club, bringing together supporters, scholars, and families to celebrate education, opportunity, and achievement. We were honored to hear from Christopher Jackson, who shared an inspiring message on the limitless potential of young people, and to welcome a powerful panel of current scholars and parents who spoke candidly about their experiences in the program. Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to invest in the future of our scholars. Together, we are opening doors and creating pathways for the next generation.

Big smiles and even bigger moments today 👟🧡 Ten of our Kips Bay youth had the opportunity to attend a special SNIPES store event, where each received $200 to shop, thanks to a connection made by our Board Member, Ian Pershad. To top it off, they got to meet New York Knicks player Miles McBride, making it a day they won’t forget! Huge thank you to Snipes, Ian Pershad, and everyone involved for creating an experience that made our kids feel seen, celebrated, and inspired. 💙🏀✨
