Help Us Change the Course of More Students’ Futures Photography by Boston Photographer Steve Marsel

Today he’s in second grade. But one day he’ll be grading papers.

Every child deserves a great education. But across the country, schools are failing to educate low-income and minority students. At the Edward W. Brooke Charter School in Boston, our incredible teachers are actually closing the achievement gap.

Brooke scholars:

Ranked #1 in the state on both the 2010 7th grade Math Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) and the 2010 7th grade English Language Arts MCAS

Ranked #1 in the state on both the 2010 8th grade Math MCAS and the 2010 8th grade English Language Arts MCAS

Ranked #1 in Boston on both the 2010 4th grade Math MCAS and the 2010 4th grade English Language Arts MCAS

Consistently outperform students in wealthy suburbs like Wellesley, Lexington, and Brookline in both reading and math

Attend top high schools and colleges, including Boston Latin, Phillips Andover, and U. Mass-Amherst

Currently, there are more than 1,500 Boston Public School students on our wait list, most of whom lack access to high-quality education options. They need your support.

As you make your end of year contributions, we hope you’ll consider investing in our school. Our operational costs are completely covered by public dollars, so 100 percent of your tax-deductible donation will be used to create more academic opportunities for Boston students, through expanding our school size, and through scholarships to competitive high schools that keep students on the path to college.

We hope you’ll join us in supporting a better education for Boston students. If you’d like to learn more about our amazing teachers and scholars, please call us to set up a tour, or visit our website.

Sincerely,

Jon Clark

She has to be intelligent, she has to be attractive to a point, not a bombshell, just attractive. She has to appear effortlessly well kept, and she has to dress in a casual way yet, anyone that knows fashion would recognize her extremely high end duds. These simple directions will turn Jacqueline Bouvier into Jackie O and Kate Middleton into the Princess of Wales. (continued below photograph)

After all, the most beloved ladies of the century were commoners at one point. Coco Chanel was an orphan, Lady Di was a commoner with a penchant for McDonalds, newby-Kate Middleton is the daughter of a flight attendant/ flight dispatcher marriage and Jackie O loved her denim bell bottoms. The facade of ease trumps Bergdorf Blondes every time. Don your best frock ladies and head for the streets, diners and coin laundromat; you never know where you might meet your prince.
