All efforts at Banneker School
are directed towards preparing
well rounded citizens. to make an
adjustment necessary for the type
of living which will be satisfying
to self and to the society of which
they are part. This we do through
teacher guidance and pupil par
ticipation in activities which are
educational and which are directed
towards the achievement of our
goal.
The fifth grade, under the guild
ance of Mrs. Wylie, took advantage
&c the opportunity to participate
in an essay contest sponsored by
the Fire Company. This contest
was designed to make people more
conscious of the destructive nature
OF fire and more concerned for the
prevention of fires which are de-
structive. The entire school some
how exhibits an improved state of
morale because OVeta Whaley be-
came 3rd prize winner in the con-
test. She was in competition with
students of the Milford Special
School District in grades hve
through eight.
The sixth grade, guided by Mrs.
Fontaine S. Mitchell, gave the en-
tire student body lesson in ac-
cepted DehaviOrs. This lesson re-
suited frOm an assembly program
on Friday, November l, 1857. The
theme of the program was Com
mon COurteSies In Everyday Life.
The theme was in keeping with
one of our major detectives for
this school year: Social Living.
The pupil presentations and per-
formances were both educational
and enjoyable.
Schools and communities all
over the country will join in the
observance of American Education
Week during the week of Novem-
ber 10th through 10th. Mrs. Wylie,
who is chairman of our American
Education Week observance, has
prepared a program for the week
which we feel will be another ave-
nue. through which we strive to
reach the Objectives of education
and make education functional. 1t
is the plan to launch the American
Education Week observance by
having teachers visit the churches
in the Milford School community
to greet parents in behalf of the
cause of education and to extend
encouragement to parents to visit
the school. The weeks activities
will be eliminated by an assembly
Program on Friday, November
18th, at 300 p. m. Parents, guard
ians and patrons are cordially in
vited and very earnestly requested
to put forth a special effort to visit
the school during this week. Come
and see your child in action. OBJ
serve the procedures being used
in molding your child into citizen
ship which will be acceptable by
himself and by his society.
Our program of education does
not ignore the Importance of par
ents and patrons, but recognizes
them as very vital personnels in
this field of education. To that end
we unite ourselves in contribu-
tions: financial and educational, in
promoting an active PTA in the
Banneker School Community
which will be second to none in
the state. We urge all parents,
guardians and patrons to reserve
evening, November 18th,
as go to PTA Meeting Night. |
On that night make your presence
known and felt through your ac-
tive support and participation. BY
so doing you will greatly aid the
cause of education which we feel
is designed to enable all people
to live and adjust themselves in a
manner which will be pleasing to
self and to the society of which
they are part.
