“Good morning, today is Tuesday, February 7th, 2023.
Character Education Theme of the Month; Justice: Justice is fairness in the way that people are treated.
Quote of the week: “All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope”. ~Winston Churchill
Black History Fact for Today: Henry Louis “Hank” Aaron was born in Mobile, Alabama, and primarily played for the Milwaukee Braves as right fielder. His career highlights include earning three Gold Glove Awards, making 25 All-Star Game appearances and leading the Braves in 1957 to their first World Series Championship since 1914, according to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The trailblazing athlete beat out Babe Ruth’s home run record of 714 with his own 755, which remained the most home runs of all time until the record was broken in 2007 by Barry Bonds. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982 and has since been immortalized by the Atlanta Braves within their SunTrust Park stadium, where a bronze statue of the player lives to honor his illustrious career.
