All-School Meeting Celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr. On Friday, January 15, fifth and sixth graders led a moving All School Meeting on Martin Luther King. Fifth graders recounted the milestones in his life, and sixth graders described events within the Civil Rights Movement and their impact today, notably the election of President Obama. We heard excerpts from King's "I Have a Dream" speech, and students from the audience shared their dreams for our world. The presentation ended with our singing "We Shall Overcome". It was a fitting celebration of a man who truly changed the course of history. Pictured above from left to right are sixth graders Elvis Parker-Jones, Adam Weyhrauch, and Carly Bonwell. |

 Howdy, pardners! Don't forget to respond to your invitation to our "Silver Screen and Spurs" Gala Grande at the Encantado Resort on February 20. If you need another invitati0n, please let Sue Gaddis know as soon as you can.
Art Specialist Melissa Merritt has been hard at work creating priceless collectibles with each of our classes--you won't want to miss your chance to bid on these one-of-a-kind treasures. Gala Chairs Krista Tyra and Robin Roffer and their ranch hands have also been wrangling lots of incredible items, gift certificates, and experiences that youcan bid on. Remember, all proceeds from the Gala support our tuition assistance program, which serves about 20% of our families.
And each of the teachers and staff members we all love have a one-in-thirty chance (or better!) to win a trip to Kauai this summer. Support them by buying them chances to win the raffle!
We hope to see you on February 20! | |
