Lisa’s Latin Beat – School Days

school1208.jpg

With 20 schools in the city being closed down due to poor academic performance, Lisa Mateo takes a look at one special school that is making it despite the odds.

She visits P.S. 57 in Spanish Harlem, a school that was on the brink of being closed down, but through donors and special programs the school has turned around.

Worked there for 5 years 1 to 2 days a week and the school is as good and has as many programs as portrayed. People were friendly for the most part and welcomed my services even calling me to ask about children I worked with on my days at other schools. My work as a professional was appreciated and supported.

I'm still glad to be retired and be able to concentrate more on my poetry and writing.
