I Have a Dream...
Most are familiar with the four words from Martin Luther King, Jr most famous speech, "I have a dream". The library sponsored a coloring contest for Grades 6-8th, with the goal of learning more wise words spoken by MLK. Students had a choice from several color sheets with different quotes. The entries were beautiful, making it hard for the judges to pick just one, so all entries are displayed either in the library or on the wall between the library and cafeteria. Mrs. Griffis thanks all who entered and hopes it was a relaxing, fun way to learn a little more about why we were off school Monday.
The vote was hard, but unanimous!
The winner is:
Brodie Fudge, 6th Grade
Library: Pumpkin Jack
