@PSMS206M has created opportunities with the “I AM…Project” for our school community to get to know each other better, discover how much we have in common and appreciate our differences.

Kicking off the @PSMS206M “I Am” project for 2022-2023! 💚💛🤍#IdentityWork and #CommunityBuilding to start our year 🐾 with some healthy competition thrown in. Can’t wait to see what the kids create this week! 🤩

18 years old and writing about white genocide before he went out to massacre Black folks buying groceries.

But tell me again how we don’t need antiracism education in schools.

We are so proud of our @PSMS206M scholars!
In December we established our student govt. 84 scholars in grades 3-8 applied to be class representative and/or grade president. They wrote speeches, created campaign posters, had photo ops, and recorded their speeches. (1/2)

If only the level of judicial discretion the judge used in the #KimPotter sentencing was used in cases like the Central Park 5 (Exonerated 5), Kalief Browder, the thousands of young Black kids with no criminal record, who get sentences that land them in prison for decades

It’s been 1 week since our @PSMS206M “I Am” celebration and reflecting on what I was reminded of that day:

1) Kids innately know how to be in and build community. They are observant, kind, and supportive.

[Principal Forbes (PS/MS206) @206MPrincipal]

Thank you to our @PSMS206M “I Am Project” committee. It’s wonderful to see the staff learning about each other & building connections. Looking forward to our celebration! @Vibrantsoul_NG @FourEyedInFifth @MsDiamondLearns @KristyDeLaCru15 @PaulForbesNYC

If this is not joy, I don’t know what is… Homecoming Tiger Day at @PSMS206M! Our students enjoyed a fun filled day with outdoor activities, music (a live Dj) and Ice cream. Some student said it was the “best day ever.” @206MPrincipal @PaulForbesNYC show me your dance moves 💃🏽.

[Principal Forbes (PS/MS206) @206MPrincipal]

@PSMS206M staff ended the day building community by writing & sharing our “Where I’m From” poems. A beautiful way to end a special first day. Thank you to @FourEyedInFifth @MsDiamondLearns for doing this work with us. @PaulForbesNYC @KristyDeLaCru15

There was a lot of “let’s learn from this pandemic” and “reimagining schooling” but yet somehow the system returned completely back to normal & in some ways worse. Remind me again, how we launch a strong school year in just two days w/staff and as guidance is still forthcoming?!

“Tennessee aims to levy fines starting at $1 million up to $5 million on school districts each time one of their teachers is found to have “knowingly violated” state restrictions on classroom discussions about systemic racism, white privilege, and sexism.” https://t.co/lNEVZSWAae
