PRINTABLE FLYER

Our “Young, Gifted, & Black” Program was excellent!

All of our students participated and displayed their many talents through singing, dancing, playing the violin, reciting poetry, & stepping. Our guest speaker was Yolandea Wood. She is a retired Air Force Aircraft Navigator, a former National Secretary of The Tuskegee Airmen, and is currently President of the local chapter of The Tuskegee Airmen. Her talk was very captivating, engaging, & inspiring.

Thank You Ms. Johnson, our 5th grade teacher, for organizing this wonderful Black History Celebration.
