I'd like to start this morning with some wisdom from author and poet Maya Angelou. She said, "My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. The effect you have on others’ lives is the highest expression of your own." Be persistent in the face of challenges, be true to yourself, and be kind to others.

Last week I shared the following quote from Martin Luther King Jr. said, "If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well." I asked you to think about that quote related to taking pride in our school. Not trashing the place. And I still want you to do that, but I'd also like you to think about it related to yourself and your future. You may not know what you want to do or be in the future, and that is okay, but whatever it is, be great at it. And use school to prepare and practice for that greatness. Practice being your best every day.

Today marks the beginning of our recognition of Black History Month. We take the opportunity of Black History Month to recognize the historical struggles and contributions of black people in the United States. We celebrate the contributions of people like Frederick Douglass, Bessie Coleman, Alice Coachman, and so many others, and also recognize contributions like The Jazz Age and the Harlem Renaissance, the Tuskegee Airmen, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and all of the people, actions, and events that helped to shape our shared history.
In addition, our Black Student Union is sponsoring a Spirit Week this week. Today's theme is Excellence. Dress for your future career. Tomorrow will be Famous Duos, so you and a friend can be Batman and Robin, Barack and Michelle, or any other famous pair. On Wednesday, dress like your favorite artist. Thursday will be Throwback Thursday, and Friday is Unity Day. Seniors-Red, Juniors-green, Sophomores-yellow, and Staff-black.
