Time for Wednesdays with Williams! DON’T QUIT! That’s not just a catchphrase; it’s the mindset that fitness icon Jake Steinfeld and Superintendent Dr. Tonja Williams Knight brought to the students at Hamlin Park School #74 when they unveiled a state-of-the-art $100,000 DON’T QUIT Fitness Center. As Jake shared with our students, physical fitness and the DON’T QUIT Fitness Center is a fantastic way to support the development of students’ bodies as well as their minds.
