“A farewell is necessary before we can meet again, and meeting again, after moments or a lifetime, is certain for those who are friends.”

Coach Noah Axelrod said goodbye to us in late July. He is moving to Kansas City to be with his wife- former PASS coach Rebecca Falkner-Axelrod.

Two days later, summer camps ended. Our 2024 graduates are now preparing to leave for college...to new and exciting life journeys.

We'll miss you Noah and Seniors!

We're thrilled to share that as part of our summer camp, 25 of our students took an ACT diagnostic test through the Winward Academy component of our NJTL program! 📝🎾

This incredible opportunity not only helps our students prepare for college but also boosts their confidence and academic skills. A huge thank you to our dedicated coaches and facilitators for serving up success and making this experience possible! 🌟

Our first cohort of graduates has truly come first circle! A few weeks ago, they took charge and managed the Winward Academy room, an innovative ACT prep study group session, entirely on their own.

Their dedication and leadership have been inspiring to watch. These alumni exemplify the spirit of PASS’ initiative!

We couldn't be more proud of their accomplishments and the bright futures ahead of them. Keep soaring, leaders! 🚀💪
