Shine by Passages Academy Students

We’ve been celebrating all month long, first with Gwendolyn Brooks’ “We Real Cool” and Zetta Elliot’s "We Can't Breathe" and "We Are Wise" from Say Her Name .  Then, thanks to generous funding from our partners at LIT, we gifted every student with a copy of Ink Knows No Borders.  Last week we invited students to play with language and composition with Magnetic Poetry kits, also provided by LIT, and today we’re publishing their collected compositions in Shine,  our first epub. --Jessica Fenster-Sparber
