Assistant Principal's Corner
A Note from Ms. Baker
"We are striving to forge a union with purpose,
to compose a country committed to all cultures,
colors, characters and conditions of man.
And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us,
but what stands before us.
We close the divide because we know, to put our future first,
we must first put our differences aside.
We lay down our arms
so we can reach out our arms
to one another.
We seek harm to none and harmony for all."
It's Time to Celebrate!

Each day you will get a Global Announcement at 8am detailing a hint for the African American contribution. You must research the hint and choose the person on your bingo board. If you get bingo, please let your Elementary School Teacher or Middle School PE Teacher know so that they can submit your name on Friday.
