GREAT Documentary on POV TONIGHT!

Many apologies to all parents for the very late notice!

On channel 13 at 10pm this evening (Tuesday September 12th) a documentary, "Boys of Baraka" will be shown. I urge all parents to watch this documentary as I will be showing it, with your permission due to it's R rating, this Friday. The documentary is an inspiring and thought provoking look at four African American boys as they struggle from schools in Baltimore to one in Kenya. At the time of filming 61% of African American boys in Baltimore were not graduating high school. The Baraka school in Kenya was formed to remove these boys from an environment in Baltimore that can only be described as toxic and provide a nuturing learning centered environment where they could address their deficiences in academics and emotions. In the past I've found it a great tool to encourage my students to value their education and themselves. Please feel free to call me at school or email me at jmg2017@yahoo.com if you miss the showing and would like to borrow my DVD.
