Parents/Guardians! Recent data suggests that the 2014-15 9th grade class entering Reading High School (RHS) will have less than a 60% chance to make it to graduation. Only half of those who do manage to graduate will go on to college. The reason we exist is to help make the graduation rate 100% for our student participants and provide them with the support, encouragement and skills required to grow and thrive in the new economy after graduation. If you know a student entering the 9th grade at RHS for the 2014-15 school year and you want to provide him or her with a unique support system throughout their entire high-school career to register you for our program by going to www.sharedgrowth.org/register or e-mail us at fab@sharedgrowth.org for more information. Thank you! The staff at Shared Growth, Inc. Afro/Latino

10 rules every young Black & Hispanic boy should follow when they are stopped by the police Getting stopped by the police can be harrowing for anyone, but black males are especially vulnerable when it comes to contact with the police. In the wake of the Trayvon Martin tragedy, some parents are reminding their sons that they do not stand on equal ground in this society and because of race and their sex, they are automatically seen as suspect in American society. So, here are 10 things that we should teach our sons when the police confront them. 1. Stop immediately. Make sure you pull over in a timely manner so that you are not suspected of running. 2. Never, ever run from the police. It gives them a reason to use violence on you. 3. Never return violent police action with violence because you will be hurt. Put you hands up and say, “I am not resisting.” 4. Keep your hands visible at all times. Don’t reach in your pocket and don’t appear to be reaching for anything within your car. Keep you hands on your steering wheel and visible. 5. Don’t talk back. Be OVERLY respectful even if you feel that you have been unjustly stopped. 6. Follow the officer’s instructions clearly. If you don’t understand the instructions ask for them to be repeated. 7. Be careful of the way you dress because, in some people’s eyes, your clothing makes you a suspect. 8. Be careful walking in groups because you can be considered a gang. 9. Make sure you say your name, where you live, and where you work. It makes you more human in their eyes. 10. “Always, always do the right thing”—Spike Lee. Your actions during a police stop can mean the difference between life and death. Afro/Latino
