Our upcoming week will be very short.
No school on Monday as we observe Martin Luther King day. Also, Friday is a staff development day so there will be no school for students.
Tuesday and Thursday will be normal internship days.
On Wednesday the whole school will participate in an all school SR (Social Reasoning) activity. In the morning students will be engaged in a well-received workshop on the use of the “N-word.” As most of us know this word has a long history in our country, it signifies racism and hate, though more recently has been adopted by some communities as a term of affection. The word’s controversial prevalence in hip-hop culture and its recent media coverage (due in large part to a tirade by Michael Richards aka Kramer) make the debate around the use of the word both timely and relevant. In the afternoon students will participate in staff led workshops around the Civil Rights Movement and the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It should be a very insightful day.
