be sure to click at the top of the main article gail linked. there are several stories in the series. i taught for 7 years in new orleans east, which was one of the areas of the city most damaged by katrina -- the trauma of the hurricane runs so deep there that kids who were not born yet talk about it as though they experienced it themselves. it is also one of the most violent neighborhoods. i have had students directly affected by gun violence in every way possible. i'm so glad to be starting work this year with a network that is deeply trauma-informed, restorative-based and social justice-focused. we had some great people at my former school, but we need cohesive support systems for these kids!

Thanks, Gail.
I sent it to Alissa Luis Yates, our NOLA CM. Also tweeted it.
Those poor little boys. God bless them and their grandmother. That poem is so raw. Even if it’s just posting a tweet right now, I am so danged glad we can take some action.
Washington State, MA, MO. So good to be deep into those states. Wonder how it’s affected graduation rates in those states, as well as grades and where the kids are xx years later.
I read the 2016 piece about Walla Walla six years later. It was great, re: how businesses have benefited from being a TI community.
Peace!
