"Beat the Achievement Gap" Student Conference

Students, mark your calendars!

The Simpson Street Free Press will be holding a city-wide "Beat the Achievement Gap" conference on February 25 at 2:00 p.m. At this conference, students will take the following pledge: "I will be an active role model for younger students. I will work to spread a positive message of engagement at my school and in my community. I will encourage academic success among my peers."

For more information, see "The Gap According to Black: A Feature Column by Cydny Black" and the inspiring two-page spread entitled "Education: Bridging the Achievement Gap" in the January, 2006, issue of The Simpson Street Free Press. Additional information will soon be posted at www.simpsonstreetfreepress.org
