Raven Rundown, 2/10/2023

 
February 10, 2023
 
Enjoy the Big Game!
The Super Bowl is the annual final playoff game of the National Football League (NFL) to determine the league champion. It has served as the final game of every NFL season since 1966, replacing the NFL Championship Game. Since 2022, the game is played on the second Sunday in February.
 
This year, the game will be played this Sunday, February 12.
 
Wishing everyone a great excuse to gather with friends and families over good food and lively discussions!
Principal Underwood
For fans who may be up late watching the Super Bowl, Monday, February 13 will be a sanctioned "late day" for students.
 
School will open as usual at 8:10am, but students will be allowed to arrive late without receiving a late pass as long as they arrive by 10:10am.
 
Get Tickled Pink on Tuesday
Student Council invites you to dress down in pink on Tuesday, February 14 for $1.
 
All donations will benefit Goryeb Children’s Hospital at Morristown Memorial.
 
Celebrating Black History
On Tuesday, February 21, SRLA proudly presents an encore performance by the artist Yahaya Kamate and ensemble to entertain our students with African dance and storytelling.
 
Kamate is a native of the Ivory Coast. As a former member of the National Ballet of the Ivory Coast, he first came to the United States to honor his country by touring with the ballet in 1994. In 1997, he established himself in the Sunshine State. Kamate performed at Busch Gardens, the Animal Kingdom, and Epcot Center for two years before coming back to New York and the tri-state area where he teaches in both public and private schools. He practices African Dance, Drumming, Modern Dance, and Ballet. Currently, he is an instructor at Alvin Ailey, a performer and dance teacher at Friends Academy, and a Teaching Artist with Bronx Arts Ensemble.
 
We're looking forward to a wonderful performance!
