Oney Judge had a story tell. Her story. One of captivity to freedom. She had lived her childhood as an enslaved person and by her own wits and will she became a free woman.

Her harrowing tale was told by professional storyteller Sheila Arnold, who visited Blind Brook Middle School. Seventh graders first met her in the persona of Oney Judge, who was a maid servant for Martha Washington, wearing a long skirt and cap.

The pursuit of excellence doesn’t stop with quarterly report cards and test scores.

Students chose short films to engender discussion about issues like respect and bullying. 

Here are the important details for the day ahead.
