SAN FRANCISCO STUDENTS GAIN EDUCATION IN FILIPINO CULTURE AND HISTORY by laurenlola

At Bessie Carmichael Elementary School, there are certain classrooms that contain more than just charts with mathematical formulas, art assignments, and the English alphabet. In some classrooms, Tagalog phrases, books written in Tagalog, and pictures of historical Filipino American figures like Larry Itliong, can be found. These are not unusual at the South of Market neighborhood school in San Francisco, as these classrooms provide Filipino culture and language curriculum to students who join the program.
