Sharing school information:

Annual Black History Celebration is planning an African Fashion Show 

(it says that the application is due by December 21, but I just received this yesterday. I suggest you call my St. Louis, if you are interested.

Attention Principals, Teachers, Counselors and anyone who knows of a student in RCSD who would love to participate in the Black History Month Fashion show on February 9, 2013. The theme of this year's show is "Beautiful of Africa". The models sought can be male and female and in grades K-12. Students do not need to be professional, but have a positive attitude and committed to being part of a team. Models will be provided with outfits that are authentically West African. All applications should be sent to Djinga St. Louis at CO-3 via the district courier. The event is part of the District-Wide Celebration of Black History Month. For more information please contact Djinga St. Louis @ (585)262-8430 or djinga.st.louis@rcsdk12.org.

  Good work with yesterday's blogging. Most people focused on her content, not on personality. I  will check with those individuals whose posts I didn't receive to make sure I did not overlook their work.  If you did not post, please, nevertheless, respond to the others. 
 Today's assignment. Response to Monday's TED talk.

Read through yesterday's reflections and select two to which you would like to respond. Make insightful comments, challenge, pick apart their logic- or lack there of. Use information from what you read or heard to clarify a point. Avoid emotional phrasing and, above all, remain respectful.
