Dear Colleagues,

Yesterday, Keith, Alegba, Lachlan, Nolan and Dalton did a wonderful job representing our school’s commitment to social justice and participatory citizenship. The boys were invited to be a part of “One Year Since Newtown”, a City Hall rally.

In addition to being a part of the assembly, Keith was asked to be the last speaker of the day (the only youth voice heard!); he closed the rally to rousing applause. Afterwards the boys were interviewed by reporters, spoke with many congresspeople and activists, and even secured a future class visit from Letitia James, the newly elected Public Advocate.

Please see below yesterday’s New Yorkers Against Gun Violence newsletter featuring our students.

Thank you for giving up class time for this to happen!

Sincerely,
Momii and Sarah
