SOUTHWEST SCOOP JANUARY 13TH
The Fierce Urgency Of NOW...
Greetings Global Academies Families,
Happy New Year! We hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe, well and holding fast to joy.
Last Wednesday’s events in the nation’s capital remind us just how severely our country is divided. Our families, educators, and scholars continue to fight our way through a global pandemic that continues to take thousands of life each day while simultaneously battling the repeated trauma inflicted at the hands of white supremacy.
It is with this backdrop that we welcome in the new year and set new intentions. Resiliency - our January Jewel of the Month seems all the more relevant. During a time when things seem so out of control, we recommit ourselves to focusing our energy and efforts on those things that we can control. As a school, we recommit ourselves to affirming and amplifying the voices of our scholars, equipping them with the criticality to push back against oppression, and empowering them to still see the good and the beauty in this world.
We thank you for partnering with us and look forward to the second half of this year being even better than the first. Have a beautiful rest of the week!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Tamika Evans, CEO/Principal
Mr. Bar-rae Choice, Assistant Principal
