Hip Hop to Hip Hope came to Wenonah High School on Friday, December 13th, engaging students in positive dialogue and artistic means of expression in today’s cultural climate. Hosted by City Councilman Jay Roberson, representatives from Def Jam and talented teens from local high schools entertained an enthusiastic audience, showcasing the wonderful things our students are doing.
Councilman Roberson, Wenonah Principal Regina Carr-Hope, and Funny Maine from JAMZ encouraged attendees to think positively about their education and prospects, differing cultures, and teamwork. City Councilor Sheila Tyson attended in support of the initiative, which allowed students to converse with the facilitators about the challenges they face in today’s society.
As a part of the 100 Days of No Violence Initiative, Wenonah’s Student Government Association representatives distributed The Keep It 100 pledge for students to sign.
