Mr. Bryant Tillman-Kelly, PTO President
Barack Scholars are prepared to tackle the IAR tests - March 20 - 31, 2023. We will have a Spirit Week the first week of testing. We want everyone to focus on completing tests successfully while demonstrating school spirit and PRIDE!!
Each of our scholars received books today to add to their home libraries. We participated in the Books Are Fun program! They are so excited to read!!
Today is International SEL Day. As a school we are focusing on Self Awareness and Relationship Skills with our school wide activity today. We are working on not putting people in boxes.
When we put people in boxes, we limit who they are. We group them with some attribute that limits their humanity, their intrinsic greatness, their ability to deliver their special abilities to the world. We think that the world should look and act as we think it should because our version is right and theirs is wrong.
This was a powerful lesson for our scholars today!
