Good morning Shells! Today is Friday, February 2nd, 2024.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a moment of silence.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Today, as we think about black history month, let’s keep in mind the following quote by Ava DuVernay: “When we’re talking about diversity, it’s not a box to check. It is a reality that should be deeply felt and held and valued by all of us.”
Our cheerleaders perform at State in Bloomington today at 11:05am.
