The end of August is upon us, and with it comes the beginning of the new school year. Teachers and families can enjoy an extra week of vacation, which unfortunately comes due to furlough days that mean pay cuts for all school staff.
Roosevelt has sent home a letter with students' homeroom assignments, so if you are a current student, you should be getting that soon.
In the meantime, stock up on school supplies and start getting up earlier so you can be ready for the first day, September 13.
This year, the Design Teams are small schools, and we need to train ourselves to use the new names. For example DT1 is now the School of Law & Government.
As principal of the School of Communications, New Media and Technology, I have been working all summer to prepare for the new school year. We've got a lot of exciting plans, and it was great to have some teachers and students back at school today to get a taste of the energy that comes from a full campus.
See you all in a couple weeks!
It came to my attention in June that one of my students from my 10th grade class two years ago (which translates to the graduating class of 2010), was shot and killed.
I do not have much to say, but I wanted to at least give a moment to mention and honor my memory of Leo Lopez. Although not a good student, and I had him removed from my class because of behavior, I will never say that Leo was a bad kid. For the most part, my students never are.
I am sorry for his violent death, which for all intents and purposes, was completely impersonal, which is perhaps the worse kind.
Many condolences to his family, to the family members who I knew of, his mother and his older brother.
I was watching the Spanish news,with my mother and a story came on explaining whats going on in Arizona, So we were watching it was about were the prisoners are planned to stay if the LAW Sb1070 is past, and the luck of the immigrants it is an outside prison.
If you pay close attention and you know bout the World War II like i do, it reminded me of how the Germans had its prisoners in outside camps, it makes me wounder why do they plan to use this outside prison for the immigrants that their only crime was to cross the boarder for a better life.
It’s just very sad to see what has happened to the “United” States of America.

People always have something to say about who they are and why they dress how they dress. In reality most people are superficial, afraid if they change their style they would be considered as “transformers” but the truth of the matter is It’s you ; wear what you want, , be yourself
Tip of the hat
To those who care but not enough to be influenced by others. To those whose dress be they want to express, want to look nice, decent, not because of others but for their own interest. Even if you’re into fashion

Jacked Up released in 2001 was a movie directed by Timothy Wayne Folsome. Staring actors RonReaco Lee, Alekis Fields, Anna Maria Horsford, Bizzy Bone, and T-Low. Andre Carter (RonReaco Lea) is a 17-year old pushed to the edge one day in his Ohio ghetto neighborhood when a carjacking goes awry and he ends up shooting dead the driver. Wracked by guilt and inspired to confess his crime, Andre does odd jobs for the widow (Anna Maria Horsford), becomes a mentor to her young son and begins a romantic relationship with the dead man’s daughter. It would appear Andre is struggling to go straight, but the gang members in his life won’t let him get away that easily. Soon, Andre finds himself fighting for not just his life, but the lives of those in his new family.

I believe that many stressed and anxious youth suffering from poverty resort to drug trafficking because they believe it is the only way to get resources. I believe the look at their peers and compare their life with them. Asking If so and so have
