Mrs. Thompson's English classes participated in the annual Civil Rights Museum Walk on the last day of term two.

In conjunction with their study of Getting Away With Murder: The True Story of the Emmett Till Case, each student researched a picture from the civil rights movement and created a placard to display. As part of a post-unit study, author Chris Crowe will address students in an assembly during third period on January 28th and answer any questions they still have.

A selection of pictures and placards from the museum will be on display in Mrs. Thompson's hallway during the month of February.
