Following all the negative news reported about young black men in the windy city of Chicago it is good to report something good. Check it out…
These happy gentlemen are sporting red and gold ties (opposed to their regular red ties) that signifies that have been accepted into colleges -- a ritual at the school.
Englewood Urban Prep’s all boys charter school is proud to announce that their ENTIRE CLASS is graduating AND have all been accepted to four-year colleges. AMAZING!!!
Urban Prep is in the heart of a crime field area in Englewood and it is reported by the Chicago Tribune that 4% of this graduating class were reading at grade level as freshmen. WOW!!!
Defying the odds is possible!!!
Congratulations to them and the rest of the Class of 2010!!! YOU DID IT!!!
