YankeesJazz Chisholm Jr. Opens Rebuilt Computer Lab at Bronx’s Community School 55

Chisholm says years of visits to CS 55 led to the lab, funded in part by his foundation’s Tunnel Fits & Kicks event.

Overview

  • The renovated space features 25 touchscreen laptops, a large interactive display for group lessons, and a PlayStation 5 for supervised downtime.
  • Students at the assembly received new Jordan sneakers as part of the celebration.
  • Principal Luis Torres led a ribbon-cutting and presented Chisholm with a Certificate of Merit from the Bronx Borough President.
  • Chisholm says the project drew partial funding from his Tunnel Fits & Kicks fundraiser, which he says raised more than $200,000.
  • The infielder frames the effort as shaped by his Bahamas upbringing and mentors like Gary Sheffield and CC Sabathia, extending a relationship that includes multiple prior visits to the school.
