3 As you may have heard, 9 th grade students at Watkins Mill will be seeing the film Selma on Tuesday, February 3. The film covers the events leading up to the March on Selma, Alabama, a protest that helped insure voting rights for all Americans, regardless of color. The film shows us the power of peaceful protest in the face of hate and violence, and shows the difficulties faced by a leader, such as Dr. King. If you have not turned in your permission slip, please turn it in as soon as possible. If you do not have a field trip form turned in AHEAD OF TIME, you will not be permitted to board the busses. If you have any questions, please see Ms. Oliver-Gary in B127, or Ms Farmer in B221.
