On Friday January 17th, Fenn students were given the rare opportunity to see one of the best Martin Luther King assembly's. Boys from different grades, helped Mr. Cobblah lead the assembly. Parents, guests and Nobles Choir joined us on a very special day to commemorate Martin Luther King, and also Nelson Mandela who both worked separately but were inspired by others to go out and make a difference.
The day was celebrated by amazing songs sung by teachers, faculty, Nobles Choir, as well as retired teachers. Poems were recited carefully with so much heart by students such as Leo Kafka, who recited Invictus. Finally, the assembly ended with quotes and inspiring stories that lead to both Mandela and King earning freedom for their people.
MLK day is always a special day at Fenn. It is a time where kids realize how lucky they are to even have the smallest things, such as freedom. The boys were involved in the assembly at the very end as, as a school we sung "This little light of mine."
As I graduate from Fenn, the one memory I will always have is the smile Mr. Cobblah has on his face while respecting Martin Luther King, and singing "This little light of mine."
