This Wednesday, Ms. Vercammen took General Music students to see the movie The Green Book. The book focuses on a tour of the deep South with jazz pianist Dr. Don Shirley and his driver and bodyguard. It is a true story written by Nick Vallelonga, the son of the driver Tony Vallelonga. The class is currently studying jazz, like the work of Mr. Shirley. Meanwhile on Tuesday, students in the freshman and sophomore class saw the movie The Hate U Give, a modern adaptation of a young adult novel that deals with issues like racial profiling and police brutality.
