Detroit Prep took an abandoned building in Pingree Park and transformed it into one of the city's top-performing elementary schools.
They're asking for support to make the building theirs, permanently. Lend a hand if you can!

When a student completes her schooling and enters adult life, for the rest of her life she will be judged not by test scores, but rather by two things: the quality of her character and the quality of her work. @ELeducation @RonBergerEL #readyyouth

Culture of crew brings out the best of character. Is it not that you are born with character or not. Building crew is the most important lever for academic success. @ELeducation #ELNC19

"Each of us has the responsibility to work—yes, boldly and unapologetically—toward creating, maintaining, & defending a more just & equitable society. Each one of us has the responsibility to “get up and try to do something.” And that starts with education." -@JohnBKing, #ELNC19

“If we are to advance equity and justice through our work, I’d like to suggest that all of the educators in the room ask ourselves these questions: Who is telling the story?” -@JohnBKing, #ELNC19
