Field trip with my GBLA team, The JAMS College Dreamers, and 29 other female students, to USC's Galen Center to see "Hidden Figures"
According to the official FOX studios website (http://www.foxmovies.com/movies/hidden-figures) Hidden Figures "is the incredible untold story of Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe)—brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation’s confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world. The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big."
Later that day...
My GBLA girls, and some of my other students, were on the 5 o'clock NEWS on NBC because they did a story about 10,000 girls from all over Los Angeles going to USC to see "Hidden Figures."

"Boys in Peril" free screening
3/8/17 from 3:15 p.m. until 5:15 p.m.
Our faculty, staff, students, families, and community were invited to see a free screening of "Boys in Peril," the true story of Julio, Edgar, and Abel, 3 AVID students, and high school seniors, at Bell Gardens High School as they navigate their way through their final year in high school.
- From the back cover of the DVD: "In an effort to better understand our dwindling college-bound American population, Los Angeles filmmaker Graham Streeter embeds himself in East Los Angeles, where he befriends Julio, Edgar, and Abel: three Latino high school seniors; each attempting to navigate through the daunting and challenging transition between high school and college in their own unique ways. The feature-length essay is a compelling look into the common obstaces that face young Hispanic men who truly aspire to better their lives by obtaining a college education and the goodness of teachers, parents, and programs that strive to make that possible. Streeter captures the realistic, inspirational yet heart wrenching angle to each boy's journey, while still underscoring its big picture relevance; its economic and social impact on our nation as a whole.
