II want to learn about my ancient legacy
Every year, KIPP goes on a once in a lifetime Civil Rights Tour through the South. We visit the heart of the Civil Rights Movement and go to places such as Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma, and Atlanta.I want to learn about martin luther kings legacy.
My Teacher Recommendation
Mr Francaviglia (Grade 8)
Giavonna is incredibly sweet and has overcome a lot of obstacles in her life. She never complains and always puts forth her best effort. In fact, Giavonna is one of the most responsible 8th graders at KIPP. She never misses assignments and when she is absent from school, she follows up with all teachers via e-mail so she does not fall behind on her lessons. Giavonna is extremely deserving of this trip and it would be an event that she would never forget.
