Musical Memory Lane

Dunnellon Elementary School in Dunnellon, Florida, chose the theme “Tune Into Black History.” The main event paid tribute to African-American music. The students presented a timeline that began with spirituals. Dressed in choir robes, they marched to “Every Time I Feel The Spirit.” Then they moved on to rock and roll from the 1950s. One child played air guitar to Chuck Berry’s “School Days,” then kindergarteners danced to Chubby Checker’s “The Twist.” The 1960s and 70s were represented by skits about Martha and the Vandellas as well as the Jackson 5. For the 1980s, the school featured rap music and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” The program ended with the 2010 version of “We Are The World.” If you hold a presentation, show gratitude to performers with “Believe, Achieve, Succeed” Cups Of Appreciation. Hand out Black History Month 5-On-A-Roll Stickers to everyone who attends.
