We know it's a little confusing on Fridays, and this one is a little extra confusing, but tomorrow is an A Day!

This week we are highlighting the actress Isabel Sanford. According to the National Museum of African American History and Culture: "A veteran stage actress who first performed with the American Negro Theatre, Isabel Sanford became famous for portraying Louise “Weezie” Jefferson. She first took the role in the television sitcom All in the Family but received acclaim for reprising the role in its spin-off sitcom, The Jeffersons. The series defied popular stereotypes of African Americans by featuring an affluent black family and including an interracial married couple as supporting characters. Sanford shined as a comedic foil, playing the patient wife to the overbearing George Jefferson, performed by actor Sherman Hemsley, while also addressing taboo subjects like race and social class. For her performance, Isabel Sanford was nominated for seven consecutive Best Actress Emmy awards. In 1981, she won the award making her the first African-American actress to win in the category, and the second to win an Emmy."

The cool place to be tonight is at our PHJH Preview Night! Things kick off at 6 pm sharp, so come early to get a seat and see what our program has to offer. This is a great time for new families, incoming 6th graders, or those who are curious about what we're all about to come and learn about the Patriot's Pathway Program and how it can help you (or your student) reach their full potential. See you soon!

Curious about what the Pathways Program can do for you or your student? Then come check us out at our PHJH Preview Night this Thursday at 6 pm!

This week we'd like to highlight "Walkin' Talkin' Bill Hawkins", who was the first Black Disc Jockey (or DJ for those who are of the younger audience) of Cleveland, Ohio. At one point he could be heard on four different radio stations and paved the way for other African American DJ's on the radio!

As part of our focus on Black History Month, we'd like to highlight some of the amazing African American artists who've pioneered in their fields. First up is Alma Thomas! According to Masterworks.com, "Thomas’ role in art history now stands as an inspiration to many by being able to achieve great success as a black woman artist despite the segregation and prejudice of her time. Along with this great success, Alma had many other accomplishments like being the first graduate of Howard University’s Art Department where she continued to have a close relation to through the duration of her life."

Hey Patriots, a quick reminder that our dance is tomorrow! Students can't have any major discipline referrals or NG's, and tickets are $5. Hope to see you there!

Mark your calendars...on February 22 the place to be is PHJH for our Preview Night! Come see what we have to offer from 6:30-7:30 pm. See you soon! #WeAreProvidence #TheHallWay

In addition to Black History Month, it's also CTE Awareness Month! We will be highlighting both events periodically throughout February. Shout out to Mr. Lagana for putting these together! She's AMAZING! #TheHallWay #WeAreProvidence
