Tomorrow we’re wearing our pajamas to school in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech ❤️ A simple, cozy way to remember a powerful message — that all people are created equal, that kindness matters, and that we should never stop believing in a better, more just world. Teaching our kids that dreams can change history… and that their voices matter too. ✨ #IHaveADream #MLK #ChooseKindness #DreamBig

We’re excited to highlight a recent segment from The Hampton Roads Show — “I Am Hampton Roads” — spotlighting Western Branch Middle School’s very own Shay Duncan! Mrs. Duncan’s Black History Month bulletin boards go far beyond eye-catching displays. They serve as powerful teaching tools that celebrate culture, honor heritage, and inspire pride in every student who walks her halls. This year’s showcase is especially meaningful, as it reflects her personal journey as a proud North Carolina A&T State University alum. 🎥 Take a moment to watch how she’s creating impact in and beyond the classroom: https://www.wavy.com/video/hrs-meet-educator-and-black-history-maker-shay-duncan/11558184/ #CPSCelebrates #BlackHistoryMonth2026
