Yesterday students were given a special opportunity to come see United Nations Ambassador Ibikanka Alao. Mr. Alao is an artist who recently represented his country — Nigeria — and became the first place winner of the prestigious United Nations International Art Competition amongst 61 countries. His entry "Girls and a Greener Environment" chronicles the life of a girl-child from infancy to adulthood and the values she acquires along the paths of life. Mr. Alao shared with us his culture, music, artwork, and overall understanding of how to see good in others. We are truly appreciative of his time here in our school and hope we will be able to invite him back again for a future workshop and presentation.
