Happy March! I want to thank all of our staff, caregivers, and partners for your support and patience this school year. We can celebrate many successes and have certainly leaned on each other through the challenges. As a school family, we have established solid routines and are enjoying the warmer weather and being together. I am truly grateful for the partnerships between home, school, and community: and we can take pride in knowing that our kids are the beneficiaries of our efforts.

In closing, I would like to be mindful that we are still adapting to the hybrid school model, but want to emphasize the need for continued support in the area of attendance for brick (in-person learning) and click (virtual learning) days. Our City Year partners have launched an attendance incentive with many chances for students to earn prizes for showing up in person and on line.

Mahaila Jackson the most influential vocalists of the 20th century. With a career spanning 40 years, Jackson was integral to the development and spread of gospel blues in black churches throughout the U.S. Ms. Jackson was one of the first gospel singers to use the Hammond organ and the piano as accompaniment, and one of the first to introduce gospel music into more familiar contexts. She sang for programs in support of the Civil Rights movement. She also used her music to create change. Mahalia Jackson’s status as a leader of the African American community is proved through her help to change not only music but also the status of African Americans through her uplifting songs and activism throughout her life. Ms. Jackson had the honor of singing at Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral. The “Queen of Gospel” was a confidante of Dr. King.

When I was growing up, there was nothing like going to church to hear the choir sing. My favorite thing to do was to sit on the front pew with my grandmother and watch the pianist play the piano. As the years went by, I learned how to play the piano by taking lessons. But I had a gift to play the piano by ear. I could hear a song and play it. As I got older, I played for the church choir. Years later, I can still play the piano but I do not play as much like I used to.
