@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY Joining me please celebrating our youth, their teachers, the leaders, and their hard work. It has been well earned and desevered!

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with such a wonderful team and look forward to building more for our boys and girls at South MS.

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY B.R.O.S. were thrilled. Their families were appreciative. & we were proud. This is what #BLACK&BROWNBOYJOY #BLACK&BROWNBOYPERSISTENCE #BLACK&BROWNBOYBRILLANCE & #BLACK&BROWNBOYPRIDE look like

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY That’s right a CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING BELT!

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY For third place B.R.O.S. received a 3 foot trophy, second place B.R.O.S. received a 4-foot trophy, and for first place, B.R.O.S. received an official championship wrestling belt.

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY Our hard work paid off as we had a celebratory event showcasing the hard work of the our B.R.O.S. In between the food and smiles, our B.R.O.S. raced their Mouse Trap Rocket Cars.

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY Chasing Space was a beautiful text to blend ELA, SEL, Math, & Project-based Learning into a unique experience for our B.R.O.S.

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY But Buxton wasnt done he taught the boys math (& science) in each project, illustrating 2 r B.R.O.S. that math has a purpose in r lives & can be used to solve problems & create opportunities.

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY And lastly Mouse Trap Rocket Cars

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY Stomp Rockets

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY This is where Buxton stepped up and lead our B.R.O.S. through a series of hands-on, project building activities such as blow cars

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY Much of what Melvin speaks about is the way he used his imagination to build things that he wanted, perhaps most notable was a skateboard he built from scratch.

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY and ways to face these challenges. Ultimately, Sokolinski & Donaldson lead the boys towards developing artistic vision boards and engaging in collective readings analysis

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY We choose specific aspects of the text to focus on affording our boys the opportunity to discuss their hopes and dreams for the future, the challenges they face as Black & Brown boys

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY His story is of imagination, vision, perseverance, and second chances and in doing so presents a multi-dimensional identity to being a Black man in American.

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK @Astro_Flow #SouthMSMBKNY In this memoir, Leland recounts his journey towards becoming the man he is today from being an athletic middle school youth to educational advocate.

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK #SouthMSMBKNY Our work was grounded in the text: Chasing Space written by Leland Melvin @Astro_Flow, former NFL player, Scientist, Astronaut, Musician, Arts, and Science Educational Advocate.

@newburghschools @NewburghSup @Dr_P_Roman @SMS_Brooks @NYSMBK #SouthMSMBKNY we co-created a 2-week experience B.R.O.S. (Building Resilient Optimistic Scholars) did ELA work, Math work through hands-on, project-building, & SEL grounded in African, Latinx, & Indigenous practices.
