Ford launches mayoral bid The Austin state rep kicked off his campaign on Nov. 8 By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Another West Sider has entered the crowded race to succeed Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. On Nov. 8, state Rep. La Shawn K. Ford (8th) officially announced his candidacy in front of a crowd of at least 200 people at Sankofa Cultural Arts and Business Center, 5820 W. Chicago Ave. Ford joins candidates such as Roger Washington, a youth pastor and 15-year Chicago Police veteran working in the 25th District, and Amara Enyia, the executive director of the Austin Chamber of Commerce, who hail from the West LA SHAWN FORD Side. Mayoral candidate Ford, a realtor by trade who has represented the 8th District since 2007, had flirted with the idea of running after getting the tacit endorsement of West Side Black Elected Officials and receiving praise for his leadership from Congressman Danny K. Davis. In the run-up to the announcement, Ford See FORD on page 10

West Side wards pick Pritzker by a mile Turnout in Wards, 24, 28, 29 and 37 was lower than citywide rate
By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
The vaunted blue wave that was supposed to wash over the country during the Nov. 6 midterm election turned out to be rather uneven. In some places, particularly southern states like Texas and Georgia, the wave underwhelmed.
As of Nov. 11, Democrats had gained a net of 29 seats in Congress, giving the party enough seats to retake the U.S. House even as the U.S. Senate remains in Republican control. Two close governor’s races in Georgia and Florida appear headed for recounts. In Illinois, the wave was more like a tsunami. Come next year, Democrats will not

At health fair, Black Panthers recall famous legacy The Nov. 3 event one of many ahead of 50th anniversary of Fred Hampton’s assassination
By BONNI McKEOWN Contributor
Black Panthers and Black Panther Cubs from all over the city and country gathered at Stone Temple Baptist Church, located at Central Park and Douglas Blvd., for an allday health fair on Nov. 3. The event is part of a series of happenings leading up to the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Illinois Black Panther Party Fred Hampton’s assassination. Hampton was killed by law enforcement officials while sleeping in his West Side apartment on Dec. 4, 1969. Billy “Che” Brooks, the Panthers’ former minister of education who lives in Bellwood said that the Nov. 3 event was reminiscent of the programs the Panthers provided back in their heyday five decades ago. “The Black Panthers provided services [for the] body and soul,” he said. “We have to consistently do this, because conditions today are no different than they were 50 years ago, especially with a buffoon in the White House taking white supremacy to another level. Social justice suffered a major blow when we stopped talking to each other, stopped loving and caring about each other.” The participants said that by including young spoken word, dance and martial arts performers in the program, they wanted to reconnect generations and pass on important history. Brooks said that movies like Black Panther tend to mask today’s realities. “Our existence is threatened,” he said. “Wakanda doesn’t exist.” Paula Peebles, of Philadelphia, said that the Illinois chapter of the Panthers was known under Hampton’s leadership for including Latinos, Native Americans and poor whites who fought side-by-side with blacks for justice. Lauryn Williams Jackson said that many Black Panther members were teenagers when they started out with the famous organization. “Many of us joined the Black Panther Party at the age 16 or 17,” she said. “We were just doing our thing, and it’s amazing and humbling when 50 years later, people come and thank us. Now our kids, the Cubs, are taking over, not to copy us, but to do their own thing.” Linda Wills, the daughter of two Black Panther members, said that she has studied how government programs like the FBI’s COINTELPRO — a counterintelligence operation that sought to undermine radical activist groups — exploited the weaknesses of many prominent activists. “Gossip was how most of these groups were destroyed,” Wills said. “We should learn from this now.” Emory Douglas, of San Francisco, created many cartoons for the Black Panther Party’s newspaper, from May 1967 to 1988-89. Douglas has traveled and collaborated with indig-
enous artists in Australia, New Zealand and Mexico. “We need coalition building,” Douglas said. “We need work on local domestic issues, but in solidarity with struggles around the world.” Some people shared copies of old Black Panther papers while giving out information on chronic conditions like asthma. Donna Calvin, a Black Panther, as well as a UIC nursing instructor, recalled planning the party’s health clinic with Doc Satchell and Quentin Young. “Poor people have been dying disproportionately from preventable diseases,” Calvin said. “Education can help, but first, healthcare workers must show the people they genuinely care. As the saying goes, ‘Nobody cares what you know til they know you care.’” Preston Baker, a martial arts grand master, was one of the first people to bring martial arts to the black community. He noted that the self-discipline of martial arts tends to keep people away from street violence, but providing the important skill to people of
color did not come easily for him. “Racism was embedded in martial arts too,” he said. “Black people organized the United Martial Arts Association and that helped open it up.” Fred Hampton Jr., who is trying to save his famous father’s boyhood home in Maywood, called on people who know the true history of Black Panthers to defend the organization’s legacy. “Our legacy remains under attack,” Hampton Jr. said. “You’ve got to call out the contradictions and stand up, even to family members and friends.” CONTACT: bonni@barrelhousebonni.com

were both defeated. At the top of the ticket, Democrat J.B. Pritzker trounced Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner 54 percent to 39 percent, with 99 percent of precincts having reported results as of Nov. 11. The election was enough for Edward McClelland, of Chicago Magazine, to declare the Illinois Republican Party dead. “Here’s a historical picture of how utterly defeated Illinois Republicans will find themselves next year,” McClelland wrote. “The state’s Democratic Party is now in its most powerful position since the 1840s, when it held all the statewide offices, both Senate seats, and had two-to-one advantages in both houses of the legislature. Back then, the Democrats didn’t even have a Republican Party to contend with — only the hapless, soon-to-expire Whigs.” Voters in the 24th, 28th, 29th and 37th Wards contributed to that defeat. In each of those wards, Pritzker did not get less than 88 percent of the vote, according to preliminary results released by the Chicago Board of Elections. Although voter turnout across the city was 59 percent, the turnout rate in each of the aforementioned wards was well below

that. In the 24th, 28th, 29th and 37th Wards, the turnout rate was 46 percent, 49 percent, 54 percent and 46 percent, respectively. Turnout was highest in the 29th Ward, which is represented by Ald. Chris Taliaferro and includes some of the wealthiest areas on the West Side — including the Galewood and Montclare neighborhoods. Two precincts in that ward saw turnout rates of around 70 percent and five precincts saw turnout rates in the 60s. For complete precinct level election results, visit chicagoelections.com.

N. Lawndale now has a quality of life plan The North Lawndale Community Coordinating Council released the plan Nov. 1 By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
After two years of collecting ideas and planning, the North Lawndale Community Coordinating Council and their partners unveiled what they are billing as “the next chapter” of North Lawndale’s history — a community-wide Quality of Life Plan. The council unveiled the plan, which is available online and in print, on Nov. 1 at Old St. Patrick’s Catholic Church’s auxiliary auditorium, 625 W. Addams St. The idea behind the plan is to create community development priorities for the community. Now that those priorities have been set, NLCCC and its subcommittees will be working with local politicians, community organizations and other stakeholders to make this plan a reality. In the statement released by NLCCC, Rodney Brown, member of the council’s Executive Committee, emphasized that it wouldn’t be easy, and it would require everyone to work together. “In order to improve the quality of life in North Lawndale, full participation from all stakeholders is required,” he stated. “The majority of residents have an interest in the growth and development of the community despite consistent media reports of shootings and abject poverty.” For housing, the plan prioritizes promoting home ownership, maintaining and improving existing homes and streets, and ensuring that affordable housing options exist even as medium home prices increase. The new North Lawndale Homewners’ Association would be set up to help accomplish those goals. Helping local residents buy homes, maintain and rehabilitate homes is listed as a major priority. The plan calls for prioritizing rehabilitation over demolition. Another major priority in the plan is to work to promote North Lawndale outside of the community in the hopes that this, along with improvements, would make the com-
munity more attractive to investors and “potential buyers.” For economy and workforce development, the plan calls for doing more to encourage economic development in the community by helping local entrepreneurs get their businesses off the ground and keep them going, providing more job training programs for teens and adults, and encouraging grocery stores and other businesses to move in. Some of the major business-related priorities include establishing a North Lawndale business incubator, preserving and growing “local employment opportunities in industrial and advanced manufacturing sector,” attracting a major grocery store and encouraging businesses that do open up to hire local. On the infrastructure and transportation front, the plan calls for improvements to existing bus stops and ‘L’ stations, as well as for restoring the defunct Kostner Blue Line ‘L’ station. Improving Ogden Avenue, expanding bus service and improving amenities for drivers are also listed as major priorities. So is installing green infrastructure to reduce flooding and generally making the streets safer for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. The plan also looks to encourage cycling by building more bike-friendly infrastructure. It also calls for a North Lawndale “community technology center” that will not only offer coding and programming classes for community residents, but act as a largescale Wi-Fi hotspot. In terms of open space and “greening,” the plan calls for improving North Lawndale’s existing parks, planting more trees throughout the neighborhood, and making vacant lots more useful to the community by turning them into play lots, community gardens and parks. In terms of arts and culture, the plan calls for building on existing programs, events and assets, as well as creating new spaces where artists can live, work and showcase their pieces. The plan calls for creating “a
multi-use art venue in North Lawndale, including gallery space and equipment to record and/or perform music, and encourage the development of other performance spaces in the community.” The plan also calls for using festivals and gallery nights to help local artists get the word out about their work and connect them to potential collectors. In terms of health and wellness, the plan aims to address health inequities in North Lawndale by putting more resources into the community and doing more to educate residents about resources that are already there. Establishing a free mental health center in the community is listed as one of the major priorities. So is training “block leaders” who can get information about health issues to their neighbors and connect their neighbors to health and social service resources. The plan also advocates polling residents to see if they would be interested in a “holistic wellness center that would join counseling with therapeutic activities, such as aromatherapy, art, yoga, and healthy-cooking classes. “ In terms of public safety, the plan focuses on trying to address the root causes of violence and crime by promoting restorative justice and “violence interruption” conflict mediation practices. The plan emphasizes providing resources, as well as mental and emotional support, for residents who are at risk. To strengthen the partnership between the community and the police, the plan calls for expanding youth participation in Bridging the Divide program, which places police officers in local schools. The copy of the plan is available online at: https://nlcccplanning.org/home-3/northlawndale-the-next-chapter-quality-of-lifeplan/. Residents can also get a physical copy at NLCCC offices on the second floor of 3936 W. Roosevelt Road. CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

We need to resolve the citizenship issue
he U.S. Constitution is a magnificent document. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution has been making headline news of late. As to citizenship, the 14th Amendment reads as follows: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” Now we know that the 14th Amendment was specifically designed so that the children of the former slaves would be considered to be American citizens. But does the same apply to others who are not subject to this country, who have a foreign embassy that they can go to, that their children are citizens of this country? That is the question a lot of people have been debating. From the news that the president might put through an executive order, to the original Supreme Court case that has us in this position, it is time that both political parties come together to establish just who and who is not an American citizen. On the surface, it sounds as if all one has to do is to be born in this country, and therefore they are a citizen. The problem is that children’s citizenship follows their parents. So if the parents have to go to a foreign embassy, why are their children considered United States citizens? Children of diplomats are not citizens, even though they are born on American soil. What it all boils down to is that allegiance to a country is/should be a determining factor.
The original Supreme Court ruling involved Wong Kim Ark whose parents had emigrated here from China. Although they were not United States citizens, he was born in San Francisco. When he went to China, and attempted to reenter the country, he was denied. A legal battle ensued. The Supreme Court ruled in his favor that he was an American citizen. Now over a hundred years later, we do have rules about who is in this country legally and illegally. The question becomes especially central when those who are here illegally give birth to children. Are those children entitled to American citizenship? Their parents are not subject to this jurisdiction, so should the children be subject to this jurisdiction? It is time for this issue to be resolved. I personally feel that this is a case that the Supreme Court needs to take on. From the wealthy Russian and Chinese women who are coming into this country to give birth just so that their children can have American citizenship (AKA birth tourism), to those here illegally and giving birth, the question has to be resolved. Are these Americans that are being born, or are they foreign Nationals being born? I personally hope we do get a Supreme Court case so the situation can be clarified legally. I can accept the Supreme Court’s decision. What I cannot accept is a country being further divided by political demagogues who care less about the welfare of this country and more about their political agendas.

City reverses course on Legler painting Kerry James Marshall’s ‘Knowledge and Wonder’ will not be auctioned off after all
By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
Almost a month after the City of Chicago and the Chicago Public Library announced that it would sell a painting by acclaimed African-American artist Kerry James Marshall to convert Legler branch library into a West Side regional library, the city has reversed course. The painting, which was taken out of the library shortly after the announcement, will be returned to the building. And CPL will make more modest improvements, extending service hours and adding computers. However, it is not clear exactly how much funding that would require and where the money will come from. In 1995, the city commissioned Marshall to paint “Knowledge and Wonder” as part of Legler library renovations. On Oct. 1, the city and CPL announced that it would sell the paintings to help fund the series of upgrades, with the goal of turning Legler into a West Side regional library. Legler was a regional library until the 1970s, when it got downgraded. A press release issued at the time indicated a renovated children’s area, expanded YOUmedia space for teens, a much larger computer lab and adult workforce training on

The specifics bune that he simply had second thoughts. As of Nov. 9, the painting wasn’t back at would depend on how much the painting sold for. He also acknowledged that the library Legler and a librarian at the branch said that system wouldn’t cover the day-to-day costs she had no idea when it might be returned.
In a Tribune interview published Nov. 7, Marshall said he was happy with the decision. “On some level you have to understand that not everything that can be sold should be sold,” he was quoted as saying. “The fact that the work was owned by the city didn’t mean the city had a right to sell it, even for the reasons they claimed they were going to sell it for. The value of an artwork isn’t just what money you can get for it. Sometimes things have a little more intrinsic value than that.” Artist Theaster Gates, who grew up on the West Side and currently lives on the South Side, said that he was glad the city changed its mind. “Public art should never be sold,” he said. Gates also said that he appreciated that Marshall was at a place where he could share his true feelings on the matter, without worrying about career repercussions. Molloy did not respond to seeking comment on the recent turn of events. Emanuel told the Tribune that there would be a “less ambitious” upgrade to Legler, with extended service hours and 50 new computers (up from the current 12), which the mayor said would be funded through $1.8 million in cost savings from other areas of the budget.

FROM THE HEART: Armena Ketchum, the the teen library associate at Austin Branch Library, works with children on writing.
Austin librarian encourages writing from the heart Armena Ketchum hosted Write Across Chicago workshops in October By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
Most teens who come through the library doors think of writing as something they have to do for school, which is exactly the mindset that Armena Ketchum, the teen library associate at Austin branch library, 5615 W Race Ave., said that she seeks to break. “Sometimes, teens get opportunities to write only when they’re told to,” Ketchum said. “But we are trying to engage teens to just let go. Just to express their vision.” On Oct. 3 and Oct. 17, Ketchum held two workshops designed to encourage teens to write what comes to mind, without worrying about what it looks like or even whether it even makes sense. The idea, Ketchum said, was to get them comfortable with expressing their thoughts, feelings and ideas on paper. And she encouraged them to keep writing on their own on regular basis. The workshops were part of Write Across Chicago, a city-wide initiative designed to encourage teens and adults in all parts of the city to write and share their writing with others. While the initiative only runs through October, Ketchum said she intended
to do more workshops once a month in the future. Write Across Chicago is the brainchild of Pete Zemelman, co-director of the Illinois Writing Project. His organization works to promote writing and literacy throughout Chicago area and northern Illinois. The organization teamed up with the Chicago Public Library system, Chicago Bar Association and other organizations to encourage libraries, schools and other organizations to hold writing groups, workshops and open mic sessions in as many parts of the city as possible. As part of its most recent renovation, Austin branch library got a dedicated teen area and a teen librarian. As Ketchum noted, the area was still a bit of a work and progress. In the long run, the library wants to do more to make the section distinct and beef up teenorientated programming. When asked her experience in writing, Ketchum said that, while she was attending University of Wisconsin-Madison, she got an opportunity to write a column for one of the college newspapers. Originally, it was a simple question and answer type feature, but it grew – and it gave her an opportunity to explore her potential as a writer the way she never could before. “No one ever pushed me to do writing or journaling until I started working for the newspaper,” Ketchum recalled.

Congressman Davis wins another term
Davis beat Republican Craig Cameron by 76 points By CONNOR S. CARYSNKI AustinTalks
Congressman Danny K. Davis will continue to represent Austin and the rest of the 7th District for the 22nd year following a blowout election against Republican challenger Craig Cameron. The win was one of a number of Democratic victories Tuesday, including the party winning majority control of the U.S. House of Representatives and Democrat J.B. Pritzker’s ousting of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. Davis won the seat with 88 percent of the votes, while Cameron secured 12 percent, with 584 of 597 precincts reporting. Voting preference for the longtime congressman increased from 2016, when he received 84 per-
cent of the votes. Before election results came in, Davis said he hoped there would be enough Democrats elected to the U.S. House for his party to hold a majority, something that would allow him to chair the SubcomDANNY DAVIS mittee on Human U.S. Representative Resources and grant him greater influence in the House. Neither Davis nor Cameron responded to calls on election night. Cameron had not responded to repeated emails and calls to his campaign office over the last two months and had done little to publicly campaign, listing no events on his campaign website or social media accounts. He also declined to attend a Chicago SunTimes general election endorsement meet-
ing but did submit a questionnaire during the primary election. But earlier in the year, Cameron told Austin Talks he believes running against Davis will spur the 77-year-old congressman to action. Davis has been CRAIG CAMERON criticized by some for Challenger having waning influence in the district after holding the seat for two decades. “The bottom line is things on the South and West sides aren’t getting any better, they’re getting worse,” Cameron said. “That means that something’s not being done correctly, and maybe this will let him know that he has it too easy.” But recent interviews outside of the 175 W. Washington early voting site indicated some voters were eager to maintain Davis as their
FORD
ONE CHICAGO: State Rep. La Shawn K. Ford officially announces that he is running for Chicago mayor during a campaign kickoff on Nov. 8 at Sankofa in Austin. Ford is at least the third West Sider in the race and one among a field of close to 20 opponents.
People powered from page 1 conducted exploratory meetings across the city to gauge the feasibility of running in a field that includes close to 20 candidates, including Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas and former Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy. During his campaign kickoff last week, Ford and his campaign surrogates centered his candidacy on the West Side and characterized it as a grassroots affair. Ford’s is likely the first mayoral campaign kickoff announcement to take place in Austin. “This is a campaign powered by people, not politics,” said Anthony Driver, LA SHAWN FORD a 20th Ward alderState rep. manic candidate who heads up Millennials for Ford, before calling Ford “a transparent leader with a proven track record of getting things done.” Tamara Fair, a Chicago radio personality and childcare provider, said that Ford formed a commission on childcare at the

representative. South Loop resident and graphic designer Diego Hernandez said he voted for Davis because he has held the seat for so many years without controversy. Being a traditional Democratic voter, Hernandez said he preferred Davis to first-time candidate Cameron because of the challenger’s lack of experience in the political world. “I voted for Davis, as I did last (time) because I always prefer him to his Republican opponents, who never seem to make themselves known in the district,” Hernandez said. Campaign spending remained low this year with Davis reporting he raised $10,900 as of the Sept. 30 quarterly report and an additional $3,000 in contributions since. In mid-October, Davis had $4,519 in unspent funds. Cameron has reported no donations to the Illinois State Board of Elections. CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com

state level after hearing about the financial plight of service providers during the budget stalemate that encompassed most of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s only term in office. “We went from being on the menu to being at the table,” said Fair, who heads up Childcare for Ford. “The people of Chicago want a seat at the table,” said Ford, who was born in Cabrini Green and grew up in Austin. “Our beloved city of Chicago should be financially stable, healthy and safe,” Ford said. “This is what one Chicago feels like. We know that Chicago needs healing. We can no longer allow Chicago zip codes to determine life expectancy. We need to heal and we can heal.” Ford launched into a litany of solutions that he said characterize “one Chicago.”
“When abandoned buildings, vacant lots and vacant storefronts are turned into homes and businesses that pay taxes and create vibrant communities, this is what one Chicago looks like—powered by people,” he said. “When murder cases are solved, illegal guns stop flowing into our neighborhoods and people feel safer in communities, this is what one Chicago feels like,” Ford said. “When good police officers don’t stay silent and when we have true police reform and real trust between the community and our police, this is what one Chicago feels like.” At one point, before his speech, Ford encouraged a group of African American men among the crowed of roughly 200 people to come to the stage.
“Anybody who feels like you’re a black man who has been left out, come up here,” he said, before launching into his sharing his own brush with the criminal justice system. “When I was falsely accused of bank fraud, I had to fight 17 federal felony charges,” he said. “After being offered many plea deals to take the felony and spend years in jail, all 17 felony counts were dropped on the day the trial was to start. I was fortunate I had the support and resources to fight the charges, but we know there are so many innocent people who can’t afford to fight their charges. “Our city needs a mayor who can run a business, overcome challenges, knows what real life is like and can help Chicago become powered by the people,” Ford said.

Stubborn politicians have gotten too comfortable By JOHN FOUNTAIN III AustinTalks
This is the election of the stubborn incumbents versus the fresh voice of millennials. Michael Jordan needed another team before he realized he had lost his step despite Kobe Bryant ushering in a new era. No one will ever take away the flame that was “His Airness.” The G.O.A.T.! The man built a dynasty twice over. Bryant studied Jordan, even stuck out his tongue at times. I have never read where Bryant stated he was better. These stubborn politicians refuse to pass the torch. They refuse to relinquish their portion of “The Machine.” These old politicians have become so comfortable in the quasi-position of power that they truly believe nobody can do the job better. It’s time for these old, self-serving people to go. Your voice was needed at the time that you were elected. No credit is being taken from you, but as you continue to travel this journey, your legacy is tarnished. Most of you are eligible for Social Secu-
rity! You impede progress by voting and endorsing your fellow politicians to fill a mayoral seat. It wreaks of nepotism. I cry foul. The school system has not changed. Addiction, incarceration, housing and gun violence has all risen under your watch. You’re no longer effective. Funerals are being shot up, there are carjackings, and missing postal workers remain open cases. This is not a direct blame of the Chicago Police Department. And for the average citizen, it’s easy to blame police. You hide behind the press coverage. Why aren’t alderman called out as the violence rises? They have fault, too. Do your kids not have to walk these same streets? Do your family members not have to take the same proper precautions when in the neighborhoods you serve? You failed us by not raising, mentoring, sponsoring a youthful activist that you once were. I recall your roots. You were vibrant, ready for change. You ran on platforms akin to Mayor Harold Washington. You were there as the sky turned amber after the as-

Early success in school is the foundation of a rich and rewarding life!
T
he boys and girls of St. Angela School, located in the northwest corner of the Austin neighborhood, begin their days with this pledge: I am a St. Angela scholar. I am a respectful individual. I am a person for others. I am a responsible citizen. I am an independent learner. I am a faith-filled individual. These are the goals that we have for our scholars—the goals their parents have for in mind for them when they choose St. Angela. These, and the overarching goal of learning to be successful in school. Early success in school— learning to love learning—is the foundation of a rich and rewarding life. The St. Angela experience is designed for success, from preschool through eighth grade. Dedicated teachers at St. Angela work together closely and invite parents to collaborate with them in meeting the needs of each student. Children who require special support for reading, or study practices, or developing fine motor skills, find that support in our staff and volunteers. Our gym teacher and our coaches challenge the children to do their best physically – to be competitive, but first to enjoy being active and to develop confidence in participating. Our art teacher believes passionately that “there is no bad art!” Our early childhood staff believes that all children can learn, that mistakes are part of the process, and that each day is a new beginning. Each one of us believes that each day should include the joy and gratitude that are part of a faith-based curriculum. We believe that the children of St. Angela deserve the same opportunities, the same incitement to curiosity, the
same care and nurturing that children everywhere deserve. St. Angela partners with St. Joseph Services for care during after school hours; a period during which children have time to play, to work on homework, receive tutoring, and participate in special programs. We have an active athletic program and compete in the Classic and St. John Vianney Leagues in soccer, volleyball and basketball. Young athletes learn to work as members of a team, to be respectful adversaries, and good representatives of St. Angela School. Our junior high students are encouraged to achieve membership in the National Junior Honor Society; to be included regularly among those students on honor roll; to serve their school and their community. Sixth, seventh and eighth graders meet daily in “houses” of mixed grade students, encouraging a sense of family. Students in these grades publish a student newspaper four times annually. At St. Angela we provide a safe and loving environment in strong old buildings. Our facilities have received much TLC in the past four years: a renovated gym, new classroom windows, and a wonderful new green campus which includes fields, gardens, quiet spaces for reading and prayer, trees for shade and two outdoor classrooms. We believe that “place matters” and continue to enhance the place we call home. We’re proud to be in Austin!
