Discovery's Cultural Assembly on January 20th, 2012 in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. had the whole school thinking! We were treated to a lovely song by our 6th grade choir from their upcoming production The Drum. We had several students from our Theatre classes sharing quotations that focused on the fact that we are not to judge others who are different. Leadership students shared information about the US Civil Rights Movement and important people who spurred it on.
Special speakers: Eka Frimpong spoke about being an immigrant from Nigeria-coming to America as a young adult to pursue higher education and the opportunities that the United States held. Tina Ellertson, US Women's World Cup Soccer team 2007, daughter of Eka and Joe Frimpong and first generation American spoke of growing up knowing that in the USA -- if you have a dream and set your goals, with hard work you can attain them.
