Our Students' Creativity Shines In "In Our Own Words: Vol. 3"

"In Our Own Words: Volume 3" was published in July 2022, and was distributed to all staff during our Summer Professional Development. The anthology features poems and written works from students in Mario Rosado's, Elvira Velazco's, Valencia Johnson's, and Joey Reyes' classes. Joey's art students also contributed drawings that are featured throughout the book. Special thanks to English Department Chair Mario Rosado for spearheading this third publication of student work and to to the other English teachers who helped collect and assemble their students' contributions.
