We are really proud of our Alcorn guys who were a part of the 100 Black Men Mentor Lunch Program held at Brookland Baptist Conference Center. The Luncheon was paid for by Ivan Earle Group. The guest speaker was Rev. Dr. Reginald Byrden; his subject was Success Choice or Chance. The Alcorn guys sat at the same table with our very own Supt. Dr. Percy Mack who is also a member of the 100 Black Men of Columbia. Our group got very positive comments on behavior and dress. We were very proud of them. The guys have been asked to write about this experience in their Literacy block, due on Friday to be turned in to Maharajh, Robinson, Bryant and of course their literacy teacher.
Students Must Wear Their ID's Everyday. Thank you for complying!
