Nicaragua has been hurt by decades of poor farming practices and civil war. Now people there are suffering from poverty and respiratory illness as a result. Help us teach them about biointensive agriculture techniques. This is a difficult and rewarding summer trip that will involve a home stay. (and a swim in a volcano as well) Look for us during lunch in the commons tomorrow if you want to find out more. We are looking for 3 more people. Partial scholarships are available.

Good morning Carrboro High School, my name is Quinton Adams . February is Black History Month. Throughout this month, we will honor a new generation of black leaders and black poets on the announcements. Each day, we will celebrate the legacy of black Americans through either the reading of a poem or of a brief bio of an inspirational black figure.


I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.
Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.
