His story is shaped by his experiences after immigrating to the United States from Peru as a young adult. The hardship and discrimination he faced then led him on a journey to foster cultural awareness and inclusivity. Now, as a Spanish teacher at Westerville Central High School, he has teamed up with another teacher to help immigrant students in their school tell their own stories and find their own voices. Mr. Chignolli discusses their new book of memoirs powerful conversation with Ohio Schools editor Julie Newhall. We also dive into plans for the 2nd annual Summer Celebration of Diverse Readers, which is offering East Cleveland students the chance to learn from the voices of diverse characters and diverse authors at a huge book giveaway event in early June.\nGET THE BOOK | Click here to find \"THE ONES AMONG US: Memoirs of Culturally Diverse High School Students in America\" on Amazon.\nSEE THE ART | Following the release of \"THE ONES AMONG US,\" Otterbein University art students and Westerville Central High School photography students created portraits of the twenty students who share their stories in the book.
