East of the River Academies Finishing Strong
Students at our Friendship and Statesmen Academies East of the River are completing their essays and practicing their presentations in preparation for their site-based Challenges on April 9th, where they will compete to qualify for the citywide One World Challenge.
Cruz, a sixth-grader, joined One World because he wanted to become a better writer. He said recently about his experience, “I’m already seeing an improvement in my writing … I’ve gotten to know myself more and get deeper into my thinking. I like One World because I can work independently, and it helps me discover how brilliant I really am.”
We can’t wait to see the results of all the students’ hard work at the One World Challenge! RSVP now.
