On Friday, March 1, 2024 Ms. Tahamont’s Seneca students went down to read to the Pre-k classes. The Seneca 2 and 3 students translated the book, “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?”, by Eric Carle into Seneca. The students did their own illustrations and made flashcards to keep in the classrooms. The Seneca 4 and 5 students assisted with teaching the colors. The pre-K students were very welcoming and receptive to trying to speak Seneca. Fun was had by all! #BKP #SCCares

On the last day of Black History Month, we are honoring Louis Armstrong, the famous jazz musician. This display can be found in our Middle School. Did you know Louis Armstrong initially became well-known as a jazz music pioneer during the 1920s and ‘30s? During that time, Armstrong provided innovative contributions as an instrumentalist and vocalist that were fundamental to Jazz’s stylistic evolution and signature sound. By the 1950s and ‘60s, Armstrong had transcended his legendary Jazz status and achieved universal acclaim as a beloved entertainer performing American popular music around the world, including his classic song, “What a Wonderful World.” Find out more about Louis Armstrong here: https://teachrock.org/traceitback/louis-armstrong/

This February we are celebrating Black History Month by honoring historical figures. This display can be found in our Middle School.

Carver then took a teaching position at the Tuskegee Institute, where he taught farmers how to nourish the soil, conserve resources, and feed their families.

This February, we are celebrating Black History Month by honoring historical figures. This display can be found in our Middle School. Did you know Angela Davis became an international symbol of resistance in the early '70s during her 18 months in jail for a crime she did not commit? Before the “Free Angela” social justice movement that inspired John Lennon and Yoko Ono to record a song, Davis was involved in the civil rights movement through the Black Panther Party, but found women leaders more accepted in the Communist party. After being found not guilty, she returned to teaching and published several books, speaking out about prison reform, women’s rights, racial equality, and the inequality of capitalism.

This February we are celebrating Black History Month by honoring historical figures. This display can be found in our Middle School. Did you know Nelson Mandela served 27 years in prison before being released and becoming South Africa’s first black president? South African history includes 250 years under colonial rule before segregation was institutionalized, resulting in the total segregation of the races, also known as Apartheid. The 1950s were characterized by peaceful protests, boycotts, and defiance of the laws. One such demonstration of 20,000 people in Sharpeville gained international attention when police opened fire on the unarmed crowd. The outlawed political parties in charge of the protests were driven underground until leaders like Nelson Mandela were caught and tried for treason. Protests continued, and the combined internal turmoil and international pressure led white South Africans to vote to end Apartheid in 1992. As a leader, Mandela lead the country through a transitional time with his tenacity, discipline, and his commitment to a free and democratic South Africa.

This February we are celebrating Black History Month by honoring historical figures. This display can be found in our Middle School.

The King Center in Atlanta continues Dr. King’s mission. Find out more about Martin Luther King Jr. here: https://thekingcenter.org/about-tkc/martin-luther-king-jr/
