United we stand: 826 boston's publishing project [826 boston staff and volunteers would work with boston international newcomers academy (binca) students to write about their life experience in historical and sociological contexts; the essays would be published in a book released by 826 boston. 826 boston is a nonprofit writing, tutoring, and publishing organization working with students in grades k-12 in boston schools. IT is part of a national network of centers established in SAN francisco. The proposed project would be based at binca, a boston public school that serves immigrant english learners and their families. IT is designed for students who are entering the united states school system for the first time and who have limited english proficiency, or who have gaps in their formal education. IT has an enrollment of 472; almost 90 percent are english language learners and over 80 percent are low income. ]
