Good morning, Falcons! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Today’s amazing Black History Month feature is Sister Rosetta Tharpe, a master of soulful lyrics and electric guitar, now widely considered the “original Soul Sister” and “godmother of rock and roll.” She attained popularity in the 30s and 40s and influenced such artists as Little Richard, Aretha Franklin, and Elvis Presley. Thanks to Lily Thorpe for the suggestion!
If you’d like to contribute something to honor Black history, such as a poem, song, artwork, or essay, please submit a video, photo, or document to Mrs. Heiss via email. The deadline for each week’s News from the Nest episode is the end of the day on Monday. Have questions? Please contact Mrs. Heiss in the Activities Office.
