Because of them I can
Because of them I can
Every year, KIPP goes on a once in a lifetime Civil Rights Tour through the South. I want to go on this trip because I can understand the steps that our ancestors to become successful.
My Teacher Recommendation
Mr Francaviglia (Grade 8)
Keon is such a leader in our school. I couldn’t imagine the End of the Year Field Lesson without him on it. He is so thoughtful and kind and very serious about his education. Keon is a great candidate to support because he is so appreciative of all the opportunities that he receives and takes nothing for granted. He will take the lessons that he learns while on our Civil Rights tour and remember them for a lifetime.
