Public School Notebook Fundraiser

Posted by on November 11, 2005

First Person and the Public School Notebook are hosting a fundraiser!

The First Person Documentary Project is chronicling the experiences of six Philadelphia public high school students as they prepare for college. The Philadelphia Public School Notebook is an independent quarterly newspaper dedicated to quality and equality in Philadelphia’s public schools. First Person and the Public School Notebook share a commitment to highlighting the voices of students, parents, teachers, and community members. On Tuesday, November 29, we invite you to join us for food, celebration, a screening of the 15-minute First Person Trailer, and the chance to support our upcoming efforts.
