Ms. Umbaugh's class is another winner for our Black History Month door decorating contest! She shared their class experience below:
"When the door decoration contest was announced, we were studying the exploration of the deepest parts of the ocean in Oceanography class. We decided to study Dr. Dawn Wright who is the first African American to go to the Challenger Deep (deepest part of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean.) We watched videos and read articles about her and her accomplishments and then the students creatively displayed information about her.
When we found out yesterday that we had won the door decoration contest, we sent an email to Dr. Wright to let her know. She responded saying she was stunned and "deeply" honored! I am including the response I received from her today.
Dear Mrs. Umbaugh,
I am absolutely stunned! What an amazing thing you and your students have done and I’ve never felt so honored. This is certainly the very, very best ending to Black History Month for me that I could have imagined. Please extend my deepest thanks to your students for me (pun intended 😉).Thank you so much again and congratulations to you and your students for their first prize! Best wishes for their continued success.
Dr. Wright"
Way to go to our winners! We are thoroughly impressed with the "depth" this class went to in decorating, as well as, reaching out to Dr. Wright.
