'Students Run LA' keeps kids on track
Students Run L.A. (SRLA) is a program that helps kids channel their energy by running the annual Los Angeles marathon. Henry Shabazia, the high school teacher who founded SRLA in 1989, believes the program has a big impact on participants, providing “an increase in levels of confidence, and an awareness and often a gain in sense of direction for life.” This year's runners from Boyle Heights are highlighted by reporter and runner Jennifer Lam on Boyle Heights Beat.
