#Repost • We love seeing so many of our alumni in one place! (Even if virtually.) Thank you to all who came out for last week’s virtual beer tasting and trivia night with @triplebottombrewing. If you’re a CYP alum, be sure to follow @cyphilly_alumni for updates and info on future events!
"When we talk about the dearth of educators of color in our system, you can’t be what you can’t see. If you don’t have teachers of color, then students can’t aspire to an opportunity that they don’t know exists." - Principal Aliya Catanch-Bradley, Bethune School
We were honored to welcome Principal Bradley from @cybethune and Dr. Abigail Gray from @philly_schools at last month's Lunch & Learn on the importance of mentorship in creating a positive school environment. Visit the link in bio to read a recap and watch the full event recording!
"I serve because the change always starts with you. The young minds that we teach are capable of extraordinary accomplishments and I want to be a part of their journey. I know how much education has meant to me and I wanted to give back to my community so my students would be inspired to one day do the same. I learn from them just as much as they learn from me." - Felisha Nation, @hardinghawks (@cy_hawks)
