[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, middle school crew at inner city public school-- so popular. [/quote]

You have no idea what you are talking about.  Deal has a good crew feeder program and I believe Wilson has the oldest continuously running crew program among DC public schools.   Plus, with the resurgence of crew, even in more challenged schools, have come a number of media stories on how crew reaches kids who may not do other athletics and in some cases changes kids' lives.  CBS News had a great story a month ago on such a program in Chicago.[/quote]

Speaking of - here are some photos from Serve Your City's program with DC Strokes teaching city kids about rowing at the Anacostia Community Boathouse.

And here's an article about the program: http://washingtoninformer.com/news/2013/nov/13/students-revel-rowing-activities/?page=1

And just in case you know anyone who is interested in rowing (ages 13 and up I think) whose school doesn't have a program, check out the Juniors Program at Capital Rowing Club.  We have kids from all over the city (but mostly School Without Walls). https://www.capitalrowing.org/crc/index.php/rowing-programs/juniors  Okay not a middle school program but something for middle schoolers to aim for.

Deal's program is very special -- even most of the established private school programs don't start as early as middle school.  Kids from NW who want to row look forward to the Deal program for that reason.  [/quote]
