Today was my first graduation ceremony since this happened in Florida: abcnews.go.com/US/university…
Look at #BlackAndBrownJoy at School for Human Right graduation. A school that is culturally responsive to students. Celebrating with music & dancing. Was great to be there today

And this👇🏾is why School for Human Rights has always been one of my favorite @ESINYC schools. Principal Alexander & AP Jennings has created an amazing, culturally responsive environment. Look at #BlackAndBrownJoy Congrats #ClassOf2018 🎊🎉🍾 @DOEChancellor @supmprayor
Thank you @frostvalley for hosting our #ESIP2P community with a fun and enriching weekend!

It took them a while but look at how these young people, from different schools, meeting for the first time, came together to begin to solve this problem. #TrustTheProcess #ChangingTheNarrative #ESIP2P

0 MBK Boys had an out of School suspension this year
92% Average Daily Attendance for MBK boys compared to 87% school-wide Attendance
77% of MBK boys are currently on track to graduate ON TIME - our boys represent some of the lowest performing students in the school
At the retreat, students networked with mentors and mentees from our #ESIP2P school partners, and engaged in various team building and leadership exercises.

I'm a day behind because there is no reception up here at @frostvalley where mentors from the @ESINYC Peer to Peer Mentoring are spending a couple days to recommit & to do some team building activities as we close out the year & plan for next year. #ESIP2P #ChangingTheNarrative
