Last week the Ellis community marked the start of Black History Month with a presentation from Dr. Nosakhere Griffin-EL of Young Dreamers Bookstore. Student members of Sisterhood Jr. & BSU visited classes for a Read-In, sharing their favorite books from Black authors.

Do you have a young dreamer who loves superheroes? Well this book is for you!
Here is a review of Like Lava in My Veins ! One of the things I love about this book is that it is superhero epic centered around social emotional learning!

Lava in My Veins is a an amazing book. Derrick Barnes does a magnificent job at writing a book that sheds light on the educational experiences #Blkboys in school, while also situating the book within a superhero epic! Click the link to get a copy

What might be missed in this exciting announcement is that this is a great example of the student becoming the teacher. Dr. Griffin-El, was an 8th grade student of mine. He was an exceptional writer, interested in sports. He joined our school’s magazine club. He was & is amazing
