“Good morning, today is Wednesday, February 1st, 2023

Character Education Theme of the Month; Justice: Justice is fairness in the way that people are treated.

Quote of the week:  “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”.  ~Martin Luther King Jr.

Today is the start of Black History Month: Please join us in listening to this brief excerpt on Black History and sing along to this beautiful rendition of The Black National Anthem written by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson in 1900 and song by Alicia Keys.

Lift every voice and sing 

Till earth and heaven ring, 

Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; 

Let our rejoicing rise 

High as the listening skies, 

Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. 

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, 

Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us, 

Facing the rising sun of our new day begun 

Let us march on till victory is won.
