Students in High Places

On the evening of February 15, two seniors at our school gave speeches at an event in Wichita.  The event was in honor of Black History Month, and the Kansas African American Museum helped plan the event.

About a month earlier students from our school had gone there on a field trip.  The staff was impressed with our students and called later to ask someone from our school to participate in the event.  The governor of Kansas, Sam Brownback, was to be at the meeting.  Our principal, Mr. Schrock, accompanied the students last night, along with several supporters and well-wishers.  One of them recorded the following video of our students' speeches.  Carol Nisly is the first presenter (Harold and Judith's daughter), and Jonathan "Jonny" Yoder (Joe and Twila's son) is the second presenter.

Here's the link.

I'm not positive if all readers will be able to see this footage.  If not, maybe some tech-savvy reader can figure out how to post a proper link.  This one may require a Facebook account and the right publicity settings in Krist Mast's account.  She's the one who made and posted the video.  For those who care, here's the address as I copied it from the screen on which the video appeared:  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10203257001775464&set=vb.1521878555&type=2&theater&notif_t=video_reply
