For the second time in my life I walked, ran, skipped and jogged a 5k at the Philadelphia Navy Yard!. We ran on Saturday, June 3.

For me, Girls on the Run was a fun experience and my running partner was great. She really helped and motivated me. It was great because Mrs. Levister, who is not only a great teacher at Conwell, but also a great coach for the school’s after school program called, Girls on the Run. Mrs. Levister was waiting and pushing me to run and not stop.

It felt good to get to the finish line!

I was mainly scared to start because I thought I was going to get trampled. I was really excited because I had a partner. Overall it was fun and we got new gray shirts and a ten year anniversary medal. I can’t wait to join again next year!

Editor’s Note: The Girls on the Run program is lead by Ms. Levister, and takes place throughout the year during After School All Stars. To join the program, please see Ms. Maria.

The Conwell Middle Magnet School Flag Football games were an amazing experience to film. It’s because the students look like they are having a blast and the spectators were enjoying themselves. My video can be the second best way to watch the game. So come on down to watch our student athletes play on Thursdays. It’ll be happening after school and we look forward to it continuing year after year.

Flag Football Highlights Reel from the April 13 games. Footage by A. Vega-81 – CCB Videographer

The late afternoon of April 13 turned out to be beautiful weather for Conwell Middle Magnet School’s second week of Flag Foot Ball games. Taking place out in the school yard, the student athletes, their family friends, as well as Conwell faculty and staff were out to cheer the matches between the green-flagged Hawks versus the blue flagged Selects and a second game between Unstoppable Force of the red flags and The Elites of the yellow.

Ultimately, the Unstoppable Force proved their namesake with a wide-margin win over the formerly undefeated Elites, and in a surprise upset in overtime both the Hawks and Selects left the flag football field at a tie.

Watch the highlight reel taken by A. Vega-82 – CCB Videographer, as well as check out the rest of the Conwell Flag Football League’s season matchups in the poster uploaded with this article. For more information about the league, contact league commissioner, Mr. Washington.
