Hello, iaa and welcome this week we have a special town meeting as we stand together as a community in solidarity to raise the black lives matter flag. The fifth graders have been exploring the story of equality through slam poetry during their arts integration unit. To answer the questions, what does equality mean and how can I take action when they heard that we would be raising the black lives matter flag? The fifth graders thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to share their collaborative poem on equality.

This morning we had a flag raising ceremony and we would now like to share it with all of you. So please enjoy.
