Black History Program Presentations

We extend our biggest cheers and heartiest applause to the Beveridge basketball and cheer team. Their extraordinary efforts culminated in splendid performances at the championship game and cheer-off, with our basketball team securing an impressive second-place and our cheer squad achieving a commendable fifth-place.

The commitment of both teams to excellence was evident through their hard work and dynamic performances, truly embodying the spirit of Beveridge. It's not just their placements that make us proud—it's their display of integrity, dedication, and teamwork that truly captures the essence of our school's athletic program.

A round of applause for our coaches—Coach Simmons, Coach Thurmond, and honorary Coach Brown for basketball, and Coach Burrell, Coach Richardson, and Coach Kind for cheerleading. Their dedication and mentorship have been pivotal in guiding our teams to their successful finishes. The countless hours of practice and determination have paid off, and we owe much of our teams' success to their leadership.

Amazing work scholars!

A heartening thank you goes out to our incredible Cheer Coaches Mrs. Hood and Mrs. Smith, as well as our honorary coach Ms. Walker, whose guidance and support have been instrumental in this achievement.

Let us collectively congratulate our champions on this outstanding accomplishment. Your victory has filled McCullough Academy with pride! 🏆📣

We are brimming with pride and excited to share with the school community the outstanding achievement of the Banneker at Marquette cheer squad. At the recent GCSC Cheer Competition, our dedicated team awed the crowd and judges alike, clinching a remarkable third place amidst fierce competition.

This accomplishment is a testament to their hard work, spirited team dynamics, and the infectious enthusiasm they bring to every practice and performance. It's through this relentless dedication and passion that they continue to represent our school with such honor and vigor.

In the spirit of gratitude, we extend our deepest appreciation to the bright young minds who graced our recent "Roar for Reading" initiative at Williams Elementary. The lively event held at our beloved school was nothing short of enlightening, arriving at a perfect time as we usher in Black History Month.

It was truly heartwarming to witness the enthusiasm radiating from our avid readers. Their keen interest in embracing the rich narratives encapsulated in the books provided is a testament to their eagerness to learn and honor our collective history.

Special recognition goes to our dedicated school administrators, who diligently facilitated intimate reading circles and thought-provoking discussions. Their efforts amplified the impact of each story shared, fostering a deeper understanding and connection among our scholars.

As we continue our journey of education and growth, moments like these reinforce the core values that make our school district thrive: connection, knowledge, and inspiration.

In tribute to the late, great African-American surgeon Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, the team at Gary Community School Corporation's Daniel Hale Williams Elementary School orchestrated a creative birthday celebration. The event included participation by the members of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., who engaged in reading sessions with scholars. 

One of the special guests included Dr. Michael McGee, an alumnus of Daniel Hale Williams, the current Chief and Medical Director for the Emergency Medicine Departments at Methodist Hospitals and a member of Kappa Alpha Psi. McGee not only shared his personal journey but also emphasized how his educational path profoundly shaped his successful career in medicine.

As the students gathered, they found themselves captivated and deeply inspired by McGee's narrative. His journey from a student at Williams Elementary School to becoming a successful surgeon resonated with the young minds present. 

"This an event I am sure our students won't soon forget," said Williams Principal Linda Golston. "The program offered multiple components of community engagement while emphasizing the power of giving back, volunteerism and mentorship."

Adding an interactive element to the celebration, a group of students seized the opportunity to interview Dr. McGee for their podcast titled "Moment in STEM." Clad in their white STEM/doctor coats, the student ambassadors created a symbolic moment while representing their commitment to STEM education. 

In the latest hands-on learning adventure, Ms. Knight's classroom transformed into a buzzing hub of science and mathematics. Our inquisitive students participated in a dynamic STEM experiment that brought coordinate geometry to life—right on their classroom floor! By charting out an expansive coordinate grid, the class delved into practical applications of plotting ordered pairs and embarked on a collaborative journey of creating lines. This immersive experience not only fortified their grasp of mathematical concepts but also underscored the fun embedded in experiential learning. Stay tuned for more STEM stories as we continue to explore and learn through innovative educational practices.

Through our partnership with Boeing our students were able to create an airplane. Students were divided into groups of 5, the roles were: mechanic, pilot, engineer, materials team member, and finance team member. The final product was an airplane. Students were able to choose from 5 different designs. The team also promoted their scholarship https://awards.projectexploration.org

Thank you Boeing for your continued partnership!

Go scholars!
