Encourage teamwork in others and be a good team player yourself. Congratulate other members of your team for a strong effort. Don’t gloat over your own successes. A team is not just a sports team. Think of your family, class, or community as a team. The same principles of success apply to them, so learn to work with others on many teams.

Buffalo Soldiers— a name given by Native-American plainsmen—were the all-black regiments created in the U.S. Army beginning in 1866. These soldiers received second-class treatment and were often given the worst military assignments but had the lowest desertion rate than their white counterparts. More than 20 Buffalo Soldiers received the Medal of Honor for their service. The oldest living Buffalo Soldier, Sergeant Mark Matthews, died at the age of 111 in 2005 and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
Book fair starts next week! After school on Thursday the book fair will be hosting “The Tie-Dyed Iguana” who will be bringing in all kinds of animals for you to look at, pet, and maybe even hold! Join us for this special event!

When African American neurosurgeon Ben Carson was a child, his mother required him to read two library books a week and give her written reports, even though she was barely literate. She would then take the papers and pretend to carefully review them, placing a check mark at the top of the page to show her approval. The assignments inspired Carson's eventual love of reading and learning.
Book fair starts next week! After school on Thursday the book fair will be hosting “The Tie-Dyed Iguana” who will be bringing in all kinds of animals for you to look at, pet, and maybe even hold! Join us for this special event!

Long before Serena and Venus Williams were dominating women's tennis, there was Althea Gibson. In 1950, Althea became the first black woman to play at the US Nationals. She advanced to the second round of the tournament and showed many ignorant tennis fans that African Americans belonged on the tennis court. In 1957, she won the US Nationals and Wimbledon, and was welcomed home with a ticker tape parade in New York. Way to go Althea!
