The document discusses a presentation given by members of the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club to first grade students about Mardi Gras and the Zulu parade. The students decorated coconuts, learned about the history of Zulu from Louis Armstrong's time as king, and will have their coconuts displayed at a museum. The document also provides information about upcoming teacher meetings, data reviews, and priorities for the month of September like completing assessments and adhering to the academic program.

1. Week of: Monday, September 13, 2010<br />WE LIKE IT!<br />Years ago my dad had the opportunity to ride in the Zulu parade. What do I remember most? The parade was amazing, and the events leading up to the parade was fun, fun, fun---BUT those coconuts! I remember helping my family paint and decorate Fat Tuesday’s most coveted prize weeks prior to the big parade. I could be as creative as my imagination would allow—and now thanks to our own Ms. Mairin, our 1st graders have decorated their very own Zulu coconut. <br />The kiddos and their teachers enjoyed a presentation from members of the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club this past Friday. We learned a brief (first grade version) history of Zulu, and a fascinating story of Louis Armstrong and his reign as King Zulu. We are very appreciative to The Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club for donating their time and their coconuts! Snaps-- to members of YA YA who graciously donated the art supplies, and their time to this project. <br />You may be wondering how this fabulous activity came into existence. After all, it isn’t everyday that 4 distinguished gentlemen in bright yellow jackets arrive at our school with coconuts! Big ReNEW Shout Out to Mairin “The Magnificent” Charles for organizing this presentation for our children. Mairin, is a part of the Young Leadership Council and their project One Book One New Orleans was instrumental in providing us with this opportunity. Didn’t get a chance to see the coconuts? Well, those works of art will be on display at a museum downtown SOON! More information to come!
