Fourth grade students completed a research project to celebrate Black History Month. The goal was for students to make a connection with a person who has solved problems and overcome obstacles; students were able to choose a person from a provided list or select an individual from their lives such as a family member, friend, or community member. Students created presentations to tell their selected person’s story to others and they shared their work with families and community members on Thursday, March 14. Thanks for sharing, fourth graders!

Deshaun Batiste - defensive line, Jack Tchienchou - safety, and DK McGruder - cornerback, and their coach, Derick Bugg, Director of Player Development, visited during PE on Friday. After some fun football drills, the players were delighted to also play a game of Leprechaun tag! A great time was had by all! Yet, the best part was when the players shared the importance of a team that supports each other, and what actions create that teamwork. Thanks, Tulane!
