- Grease is the word
826 LA needs tutors for the summer! There are great projects coming up…like this one I posted about recently….
Tonight someone told me Grease was filmed at John Marshall HS. This is so funny to me – not only because Grease was my favorite movie of all time for the first 12 years of my life but also because I just finished a project volunteering there with the 11th and 12th graders through the organization 826LA. There was no singing and dancing (thank goodness) but there were words. Lots of them. Enough for 826LA to publish a book in fact.
- John Marshall HS book cover
Tonight some of kids read their stories from the book at a reception at Skylight Bookstore in Los Filez. I can’t tell you how inspiring it was to hear those kids bravely telling their stories. So proud to see their words in print. Their hard work paying off. The staff at 826LA is extraordinary – working around the clock to make literary projects like this happen. Word.
