St. Benedict’s Prep, State Police and Victory Road established the Building Bridges program after Minneapolis police officer killed killing of George Floyd
Students and state troopers face off in a round of team tug-a war- during the Building Bridges program at St. Benedict's Prep on Monday, Sept. 18, 2023. Sixteen-year-old Liam Vertressee was skeptical when selected to participate in a bridge-building event with N.J. State Troopers at his Newark high school on Monday.
First, there was a bear crawl from the school’s second floor to the downstairs gymnasium, one partner following the other on hands and knees. Next, the teams faced off in rounds of tug-a-war, where the competitive nature of the troopers and teens was on full display. Later, it was on to the school’s pool, where the troopers and their student partners bound themselves together by the wrists with rope and then pushed a weight across the pool bottom, from one side to the other.
Alexandra Craft, St. Benedict’s communications director, said the goal is to bridge the gap between kids of color and law enforcement by building trust and better understanding through team-building exercises., a private Catholic school on Martin Luther King Boulevard near William Street, enrolls 966 ninth through 12th graders — 48% Black, 32% Hispanic, 11% white, and 9% Asian. The racial makeup is similar to Newark’s, where 48.2% of the residents are Black, 36.
