This Week in History

This week in history, we celebrated Martin Luther King Jr day, which was the reason for yesterday’s day off from school. As a nation we intentionally take time to honor and celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. A man who courageously and fearlessly championed racial equality and justice. He fought against segregation and discrimination through peaceful protesting and gave his life pursuing unity. You may have heard his famous ‘I Have a Dream’ speech from 8th grade students at Oratory last month. A speech where he shares his dream of equality for all. 

Did You Know?

This is Nurse Megan Ives– Did you know that sickness is going around? Students should not attend school if he or she has had fever, vomiting or diarrhea related to an illness within 24 hours. And remember, wash your hands and say your prayers cause germs and Jesus are everywhere.
