POPPYN

We had so much fun at showcase! Our students and ._yk will be releasing their powerful short documentary “Dear Naim” soon!

Yesterday the Philadelphia School board approved a plan to close 17 schools. Our POPPYN youth producers were at the School district documenting the real emotions and immediate impacts of this decision. What stood out to us was the passion and pride students (and educators) had for their school community.

It was clear students, families, educators, policymakers and organizers will continue to fight for justice and equity within our School District! Stay tuned for our upcoming segment on this topic!

& Special thanks to and for taking the time to speak with our students!

Congrats to our LC Israel for receiving the Chancellor’s Award for Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement at Rutgers! We’re grateful to have you at POPPYN and keep up the great work!
