This event is part of the FSA?s ongoing initiatives to support TECCS? mission of providing a safe caring community where ethics, service, and social justice are the principles that inform every aspect of school life. TECCS is a school where teachers lead and collaborate with students in a culture of rigorous academics and mutual respect; where analytical thinking and creativity are prized over learning by repetition; where children become individuals of integrity, insight, autonomy and socially productive citizens, workers, and leaders.

Like Jersey City, TECCS is extraordinarily diverse. With students from cultures all over the world, a minority population of more than 70%, and more than 34% of students receiving free or reduced lunch. Unfortunately, due to the current state education funding formula, TECCS receives less funding per pupil than any other public school in Jersey City. Indeed, its funding is the second lowest in the entire State, and less than half the funding per pupil provided to Jersey City?s traditional public schools -- yet TECCS students outperform the district average on standardized tests.

The FSA is an independent nonprofit 501 c 3, consisting of parent volunteers who are committed to supporting the exceptional school environment our kids are in. We do this by hosting remarkable local events which celebrate the places and businesses that make Jersey City great. The support from the Jersey City community-at-large is vital to the success of our ongoing efforts. After this event, start training and keep your eye out for our 4th Annual Read, Write & Run 5K scheduled for June 13, 2015 in Liberty State Park. We would like to count on your support.

We have some amazing Tricky Tray items for raffle this year - come to the post-race festival and try to win a lottery ticket basket, an iPad mini, a Kindle Fire, an ice cream maker or a basket of wines from Central Ave Liquor.

Don't miss out!

The lot closer to the terminal is free, but do you have to pay at the ferry lot which is closer to the event.
