Nationhouse

Help! Nationhouse former students. This is Mama Mavhu. I’ve forgotten the exact lyrics to the Nat Turner song.
Is this right? -
Come on go with me, it’s time to be free
Come and take a stand, take your freedom in your hand like a man!

Today, on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we pause to appreciate and reflect on the auspicious and inspirational life of Reverend Dr. King. He was unwavering in his work for his people, supported by his wife Dr. Coretta Scott-King. May we all commit ourselves to work on behalf of our people.

This week’s listing is our Jamaica hat! Reversible as always, one side is the Jamaica flag and the other is red, black and green.
The medium hat is 122 rows in total and the watoto have to do the word problems to figure out how many rows to knit in each color. Answering the age old question “what do we need math for anyway?”
