The eighth graders have been deeply engaged in the presidential race, researching the issues, examining the electoral process, and uncovering the issues that are of importance to them. As part of their learning, they participated in Letters to the Next President: Writing Our Future, an online writing and publishing project for students, ages 13 - 18, co-sponsored by Google and the National Writing Project. Young people were invited to write about the issues and concerns that they feel are central to their future, issues they would hope our next president would act on. Topics were chosen by the students themselves to reflect their specific personal, regional, and age-related interests. The students work is now "published" on the website, and the students and I invite you to read their words and the words of other children in America. We hope that they inspire you to vote and to take action.

Washington Heights Comics
Talia Gonzalez's students visited Washington Heights with an eye toward locating images, signs, foods, and cultural artifacts that were distinctly Spanish. Their treasure hunt was followed with a delicious lunch at Malecon where pollo, arroz, maduros, tostones, and pastilles were consumed.
