Marshall Students Celebrate Famous Black Americans

Mrs. Tillie Madric’s third grade class at Thurgood Marshall Elementary School presented a wonderful Black History program for Marshall School students, parents and faculty.  Each student presented a biography of a famous Black American in honor of their contributions to society.  Songs about the Underground Railroad were sung, excerpts from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I have a Dream” speech were recited, and many other noted Black Americans were featured.  Among them were Rosa Parks, George Washington Carver, and Eddie Murphy, to name a few.  Thurgood Marshall, for whom our school is named, was also celebrated.  Marshall Student Alexia Neal even sang a solo.  The most impressive part of the performances was that all of the students memorized their parts, and not one student used notes.  The Marshall community is extremely proud of Mrs. Madric’s third-graders for their hard work and to Mrs. Madric for coordinating a thoroughly enjoyable performance.  Bravo!!
