The Whatever Show, a youth-oriented TV show on KARE 11 (Minneapolis), aired this piece last Saturday, February 2. It is kind of a collage of unique charter schools showing scenes from High School for Recording Arts, Connections On-line School (MTS), and Main Street School for the Performing Arts. Go to http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=495742 to view the Windows Media Player clip. Whoo hoo Courtney and Chantel. Great job! You can hear the Fo Show on B96 (96.3FM) every Sunday morning at 8:30 or download the podcast at http://www.thefoshow.com/ . Enjoy!

If you missed Twin Cities Public Television’s coverage of our school back in July,
you can still see it by going to Almanac On Demand and clicking on Making Music.

Emancipation Hall, newly built as part of our nation’s Capitol Visitor Center, is 20,000 square feet. People will gather in the room when they visit the Capitol and will be told how slaves helped construct the building in the 1800’s. Representative Zach Wamp, (R-Tenn) along with Rep. Jesse L. Jackson Jr., D-Ill., co-sponsored the bill in the House and Sens. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., sponsored it in the Senate. Lucky Rosenbloom has been instrumental at keeping this issue and the dedication of the hall on the front burner both at the Minnesota legislature and Senator Coleman’s office. The president signed the measure in December 2007. We patiently await the day of dedication and recognition for those slaves who helped build our nation’s Capitol.

Minnesota Representative, Carol McFarlane, (R-53B), joined HSRA students who had questions for Senator Coleman and were recognized by him for their role in passing this historic legislation. The conference was recorded for The Fo-Show which airs Sunday mornings on B96 (96.3FM) and via the web at http://www.thefoshow.com/.
