Those of you who missed the
November Man-Boy Breakfast missed one of the great presentations by media mogul
Carl D. West. Originally a denizen of Chatham his story was both real and
inspiring to all in attendance. I was of course again extremely disappointed
with the turnout. I'm looking for principals that see the value of their boys
participation in a "movement" designed to transform them into
engaged, effective learners (students). If the young men are encouraged to
attend and participate in our homework and projects they should begin to see
school (knowledge), as an opportunity for advancement and act accordingly.
The Breakfast is a monthly celebration of manhood, its joys and
responsibilities. Our speakers are an eclectic group of interesting, successful
men who grew up similarly to their audience and overcame the challenges of
poverty, single parent households, indifference to education etc. In sixteen
years it has become an award wining Saturday morning tradition because of the
successful partnership between CPS member schools and the Concerned Christian
Men. We all have a stake in these boys' education, by profession, love or our
tax dollars, make the Man-Boy Breakfast a monthly commitment to help maximize
our investment.
