THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 17, 2019 Page 19 TEACHERS | FROM PAGE 8 Nekita Lamour suggested using displaced, retired and semi-retired educators of color to pilot community-based enrichment programs. “By engaging in ‘community driven’ programs, underachieving children and youth would observe and experience structured learning occurring and initiated in their own environments by stakeholders in their communities that they can look up to,” Lamour said. Lamour estimated that close to 71 percent of the school population is nonwhite, according to enrollment data, and the majority of black students have foreign backgrounds, are immigrants or are children of immigrants. Malden CORE member Susan Lawrence said there are cultural diff erences between minorities and white members. For African Americans, she said, that includes colorful names, talking loudly and touching each other’s hair. Her adopted Ethiopian daughter, Tihun, 18, has never had a teacher of color in the Malden school system. “Teachers may not be able to pronounce names or make fun and say it wrong, but for a little kid, that means a lot,” Lawrence said. “That can shape their confidence and make them question whether they belong there.” As a result, they strongly encourage the district to provide ongoing antiracist training for all educators. “This shows an investment in our children, because they deserve to have teachers and staff in their schools who understand the impact of systemShown from left to right are Education Management Professional/Malden resident Nekita Lamour, Malden elementary schoolteacher Penny Kalman and Malden CORE members Mekka Smith, Susan Lawrence and Rochelle Bulforte.

She said she chose that career path because she likes the classroom setting. Malden High School Principal Christopher Mastrangelo said he doesn’t think there is a better profession to go into. “Sadly, there are fewer people going into the fi eld, but while they lack in monetary resources, they get to make an infl uence daily,” Mastrangelo said. “As the saying goes, ‘To teach is to touch a life forever.’” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com. ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 208 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA 02141 (617) 768-5800 Docket No. MI18P3841EA Estate of: Gelsomina Norma Formicola Also known as: Jessie N.
