Move2Learn and The Burke & Herbert Bank Foundation Launch After-School Programming for Hammon MS Admirals
Hammond Middle School’s Admirals are charting a new course for health and wellness this year. Move2Learn, an award-winning nonprofit focused on student engagement through movement, is prouyd to announce a new partnership with The Burke & Herbert Bank Foundation to launch exciting after-school programming designed to help students feel better, focus better and thrive.
Thanks to the Foundation’s investment, 25 Hammond students will participate in a 24-session after-school program that blends movement, social connection and wellness, giving Admirals the tools they need to navigate stress, build positive habits and stay anchored to success throughout the school day.
Students will be equipped with club t-shirts, healthy snacks, water bottles and cinch backpacks—all the essentials to get moving and stay motivated. But the real win isn’t just what’s in their backpacks—it’s what happens in their brains.
Each session will also feature Move2Learn’s “SEAL in the Field” lessons, an innovative, on-the-ground approach to strengthening students’ self-regulation, emotional resilience and leadership skills through movement. As students build energy and community after school, the benefits follow them back into the classroom—boosting attendance, improving behavior and strengthening mental health all day long.
“In a world where young people face more pressure than ever, movement isn’t just an outlet, it’s a lifeline,” said Brooke Sydnor Curran, Founder and CEO of Move2Learn. “With The Burke & Herbert Bank Foundation’s support, we’re proud to help our Admirals feel their best, stay engaged and lead the way both on campus and beyond.”
Together, Move2Learn and The Burke & Herbert Bank Foundation are helping Hammond students set a course for success—and proving that sometimes the smallest steps spark the biggest transformations.
