To celebrate Black History Month (BHM), all fourth-graders completed an essay on the following topic: "Describe the dream of a famous African-American person that you admire. What was their dream? How does their life inspire your dreams?"
The parent volunteers on the BHM Committee reviewed the essays and, based on the criteria of organization, content, style, and grammar, selected the final winners (pictured in the photo with Mr. Dwayne Ellis, Lower School BHM chair):
Sam Yates wrote about George Washington Carver
Ben Cochran wrote about Lonnie Johnson
Hunter Fennel wrote about Jackie Robinson
On Feb. 28, Mr. Ellis and Adrienne Margine (BHM faculty liaison) announced the winners to the fourth-grade class. Each winner received a $50 gift card.
