Superintendent Soler and MBK Executive Director, Dr. Robinson, set the tone by sharing the meaning and mission of MBK. Principal Dr. Baez, along with School 5's MBK Chapter Leader and former NFL player Mr. Hogue, brought the message home by showing what leadership looks like in action.
Guided by MBK Coordinator Mr. Joyner, students learned about the libation ceremony, grounding the moment in tradition. The celebration came full circle as MBK ambassadors Cameron Williams and Jason Martinez, now attending Pace University, returned to share how MBK continues to positively shape their journeys.
This is leadership. Congratulations, School 5!
