As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK  #BelovedCommunity

Since we couldn’t do our normal project fair, the 7th and 8th graders participated in a virtual gallery walk. They got to view their classmates projects, giving glows and grows along the way! 💻📚⭐️ @SKinnick24 @MsTarantula24

Imagine an Atlantic sturgeon *twice* as long as this seven footer. They used to be common in the Hudson before the species was fished toward extinction. They're coming back.
