New Movie Alert!
New Movie Alert!
Big shout out to Mr. Dedalonis for recommending to watch "Radical," a new movie that is out in theatres. The movie is about sixth grade students at Jose Urbina Lopez Elementary that are among the worst performing students in Mexico, with their world one of violence and hardship, not possibility. It might seem like a dead end, but it's the perfect place for new teacher Sergio Juarez to try something different.
If possible, give it a try and let us know what you think!
