Good morning Shells! Today is Monday, April 15th, 2024.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a moment of silence.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
This is our second week of Genocide Awareness month. Today we are continuing our announcements to commemorate these atrocities. Last time we talked about the definition of genocide and asked why we should commemorate Genocide Awareness Month. Learning about genocide can help us recognize the warning signs and maybe even prevent genocide in the future. This is a vital issue because there are multiple groups facing genocide or possible genocide today. These include a Muslim group called the Uyghurs in China and a Muslim group called the Rohingya in Myanmar. What other examples of genocide can you think of? When else in history has there been an attempt to destroy a group of people because of who they are?
