Session 1 My Personal Engagement project highlights violence; therefore it is very fitting for me to share this article. As the article states Dawn was an active community member, volunteer and mentor. She was committed to her civic engagement responsibilities.

Boston Public Schools Engage Families to Help Turn Schools Around - 0 views

A great article that talks about involving parents in the learning process. With so many grandparents raising their grandchildren, this is a great way for them to stay involved with the schools, get out of the house, and make a difference. Children love and thrive when their parents are involved in their schools. Last week, my son's school has Math Morning and every classroom was full of parents there to support and learn how they can engage their children and themselves in the common core math that is now being taught. Many of us did not grow up with common core and we are learning alongside our children.

Officials urge calm ahead of Ferguson grand jury decision - 0 views

This was such a tough case to hear about in the media, the riots and race issue that keep occurring in our society is terrible. I wonder if it was a black officer that shot Michael Brown would what happened In Ferguson have occurred, or if it was a white officer who shot a while person. Either scenario it is a terrible loss. I feel like the media keeps the hate and racism alive in our society. So many historical figures fought and lost their lives to allow races come together. Even though any race can go anywhere and attend any place they choose there is still this stigmatism alive and brewing.

Long Island Bridge closing brings hunt for new shelters, services - The Boston Globe - 0 views
-
Sometimes planning is thrust upon us in an emergency situation. The closing of the bridge created a scramble to house the homeless and employees. I think the Boston Public Health Commission and Mayor Walsh have done a remarkable job, with limited resources, making sure that services are still operational. I hope that they will be able to find an alternative site for Camp Harborview that operates out of Long Island in the summertime. This camp serves disadvantaged youth from the city and it is one of the better and premier camps in the city; it costs $25 for a four week session. We shall see.
