Juneteenth National Independence Day is now a US federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. Along with our local and state communities, we celebrate this important date with the entire nation.
A favorite from this year's graduation remarks: “Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit…Life is good when you are happy; but much better when others are happy because of you.” @Pontifex, h/t @dfanelli45 & @StMarkHarlem https://t.co/XD4oQKf15P
The final advice of @StMarkHarlem's principal to the Class of 2021:
"Now Press Forward and Fear Nothing—as St. Katharine Drexel would have you do." -@dfanelli45

"I wake up every day glad to come in. Every day I’m figuring out: how am I going to mold lives today? What am I going to bring in new today?"
May all of us embody Mr. J's #zeal. https://t.co/OCGLTJVhf0 #teachers
Can't do contact sports in PE?
Then learn to bowl.
But bowl with the eye of the tiger, like this @StMarkHarlem champ.

"You never know who is watching...so I wake up every day glad to come in. Every day I’m figuring out: how am I going to mold lives today? What am I going to bring in new today? I don’t want to be an example of laziness." @StMarkHarlem's Mr. J: https://t.co/OCGLTJVhf0 #teacher
"When I started last year, David Ellis, the librarian, came to me and said, you don’t understand the importance of the job you are doing. He asked: how many male teachers did you have growing up?" @StMarkHarlem teacher Mr. J reflects: https://t.co/OCGLTJVhf0 @PGeducator
"I need to be here...I didn’t think twice about coming back in. I’ll take that risk, I’ll get vaccinated, I’ll do whatever I need to do." @StMarkHarlem teacher Lavance Johnson takes over the Post. Need motivation? He's got it. https://t.co/OCGLTJVhf0 #zeal@NCEATALK

We are less than one week away from Augie Bossu Day! Please join us in honoring the legacy of legendary Coach Augie Bossu on Wednesday, May 5th. Coach Bossu would have been 104 years old on May 5th, 2021. He made a difference in the lives of so many.
