  • Civil Rights Trip - Day 4

     
    The fourth day of our Civil Rights Trip was a great one!  We visited the Civil Rights Memorial and the Southern Poverty Law Center.  While there, all of us were able to sign the “Wall of Tolerance,” pledging to do our part to work for justice and equality in our society.

  • Civil Rights Trip - Day 3

    We had a great day in Selma and Montgomery.  We visited the National Voting Rights Museum, Brown Chapel AME Church, and walked in the path of those who marched for voting rights in 1965 (from Brown Chapel through Selma and across the Edmund Pettus Bridge).

    In Montgomery, we visited the Equal Justice Initiative.  We met with several of EJI's dedicated staff members as well as Mr. Bryan Stevenson, the Executive Director of EJI.

  • Civil Rights Trip - Day 2

    We had an incredible day in Birmingham, visiting Kelly Ingram Park, the 16th Street Baptist Church, and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.  We were also very fortunate to meet with Doug Jones, the former U.S. Attorney for the northern district of Alabama.  Mr. Jones prosecuted two of the men responsible for the 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church.  Mr. Jones gave a talk that was very informative and also very inspirational.  He emphasized the importance of working towards justice in our society and the importance of hard work and persistence in order to achieve one's dreams. 

    We arrived in Selma, Alabama this evening!  Tomorrow, we will visit the National Voting Rights Museum, Brown Chapel AME Church, and walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, following the path of those brave men and women who marched for voting rights in 1965.

  • Civil Rights Trip - Day 1


    We spent the afternoon in Memphis at the National Civil Rights Museum. The museum includes a new exhibit: Freedom's Sisters.  At this exhibit, our students learned about the contributions of twenty African-American women to the Civil Rights Movement.  A quote from Mary McLeod Bethune stood out to me, and I wanted to share it with all of you: "Be calm, be steadfast, be courageous."  Wise words from a remarkable woman!

School Health & Wellness Policy

 

Gateway Middle School has had the privilege of being a part of a pilot program called Alliance for a Healthier Generation for the past 4 years. We are trying to teach the students how to live a healthy lifestyle through this program and the school district’s wellness policy. If you would like to find out more about this program and get involved you are welcome to join the School Health/Wellness Council (SHAC).

As part of this program we are teaching students to eat healthy snacks, and exercise. So we ask that you send healthy snacks with your student/s. We are not allowing students to bring in chips, candy, soft drinks, energy drinks, gum, sunflower seeds with shells, and Kool-Aid in any type of packaging for snacks. If the students bring these items they will be confiscated. The confiscated items will not be returned without a parent coming to get them. Snacks that are allowed include trail mix, nuts, crackers, pretzels, granola bars, fruit snacks, fresh fruit, water, Gatorade, juice.

The student will be allowed to bring chips (maximum two small bags), soft drink and candy (maximum two pieces) if they bring a lunch to school. They must have a sandwich or a main dish before it is considered a lunch.

 
All glass items, permanent markers and flip-flops will also be confiscated upon entering the building.  In August, flip-flops will be returned at the end of the days on Fridays.  Beginning in September, flip-flops will only be returned on the last Friday of the month.   All open containers of food or drink that are confiscated will be immediately thrown away.
