American Lakes Middle School students wowed students, staff, and families this morning with their annual recitation of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Teacher Stephen Smith works with students each year to prepare for this performance, and the students look forward to it. Every word is memorized and stated confidently in a crowded room of students, staff, and families. Students learn about the civil rights movement and gain skills in leadership and public speaking. It was a wonderful way for American Lakes to celebrate Black History Month.
