Shady Grove Unveils Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Mosaic
Shady Grove students were in awe at the unveiling of their new Martin Luther King Jr. honorary mosaic, featuring the handprint of every student (700+) and an original painting of Dr. King by SGE Assistant Principal Mrs. Kennedy’s father. The schoolwide project began in the weeks leading up to Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Students read about Dr. King and participated in lessons about his commitment to serving his community. Students then “made their mark” with a handprint on a tile meticulously arranged on the wall by Principal Bialka.
