We will be attending the movie Freedomwriters to learn about inner-city life. Students will go to Edwards Theatre at Riverpark at 11:00am. We will eat lunch and watch the movie.

It is a very important film for understanding urban life and I believe that our students will really connect with it. Please contact Justin if you have any questions or concerns you would like to discuss.
