Heroes in the Hallways and School Projects

The All-School Hero Day was held on May 28. Students arrived to school in the hero attire and began the day with a parade throughout the school. Then they had a special visit from Martin Luther King Jr. in the gym followed by individual presentations in various classrooms.

Timothy, Savannah and I stayed long enough for the parade. We enjoyed so many different costumes on so many heroes!


Sarah's teacher, Mrs. Rapp, leads her class through the hallway. Any guesses on who she is?


Jessi and Lindsay are both Rosa Parks - Aren't they adorable?




Timothy especially liked Joel's baseball hat.

Sarah was Joni Eareckson Tada and enjoyed being wheeled around for the parade.

Blake and his friend give a smile for the camera. They are dressed up as sports stars -- what else?!!

Allie and her friend Maddie stop for the paparazzi. Allie was Marian Anderson, an African American opera singer famous for being the first African American to sing at the Lincoln Monument. Allie even sang the Star Spangled Banner as part of her presentation.

Allie's teacher, Mrs. Elliott, dressed in fatigues as a support to the men and women serving in the war. I think that is Albert Einstein behind her.

Here is Lindsay delivering her report in a VERY quiet voice. Now if only we could get her to speak in the same voice at home!

For her project she made a place mat in the shape of a bus. On one side it shows Rosa Parks having to sit at the back of the bus and on the other side, after her protest, she is in the front.

During Lindsay's presentation, Timothy kept busy by playing with the plastic letters.

Great job spelling your name, buddy!

Allie's student of the week presentation - she is holding up her very worn and loved blanket.
