Martin Luther King Diversity Contest
Aldridge campus winners and district winner for this year’s Martin Luther King Diversity Contest. This year, the theme was “The Dream is Alive.”
1st place (advancing to district show) is led by “Team International.” These students did a wonderful collaboration piece that aims at the heart of diversity and the message of Martin Luther King. Way to think as a team, independently and together!
