BGMS celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month

Congratulations to our UFT Scholarship Winner @District11BX @cristinevaughan

It's Friday! What are you reading this weekend?

“We would like to give a special donor spotlight to Bronx Green MS! In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, 7th graders hosted a bake sale and donated all proceeds to Casita Maria. We are incredibly grateful to all the students & staff at BG for this generous & thoughtful donation!”

Today we come together to celebrate and honor the life and memories of ancestors and loved ones who have passed away. ¡Feliz Día de los Muertos, Nueva York!

To help support & challenge educators at the start of the school year, we asked #TCFaculty members (like @docmensah, @RuizSealey, @ATErickson & more) to share their recommendations of thoughtful, anti-racist works to inspire you professionally & beyond. ⬇️ tc.columbia.edu/articles/2022/…

@goodreads Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America by @DrIbram

What’s the one book you’ve recommended more than any other during the last decade? 🤔

@aeonstorn3 @goodreads Broke my heart.

The suggestion that any job is “low skill” is a myth perpetuated by wealthy interests to justify inhumane working conditions, little/no healthcare, and low wages. Plus being a waitress has made me and many others *better* at our jobs than those who’ve never known that life.

Today is the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition. It's important to center the humanity and voices of enslaved Africans in honoring that remembrance. This resource can help. slavevoyages.org

@goodreads Disrupting oppression, anti-racist

Describe the book you’re currently reading in three words!

That a family had to lose a son, brother and father; that a teenage girl had to film and post a murder, that millions across the country had to organize and march just for George Floyd to be seen and valued is not justice. And this verdict is not a substitute for policy change.

Accountability. Justice would be #GeorgeFloyd alive and thriving.

@GholdyM great read

Guilty on all three counts. My only wish: The jury should have only deliberated for 9 minutes and 28 seconds. #DerekChauvinTrial

Yo @JasonReynolds83! This is CRAZY! Thank you for reading #StampedBook 🙏🏾
