Wangari Maathai was born in Nyeri, Kenya in 1940. Her most incredible contribution to history was her establishment of the Green Belt Movement in 1977.From 2002 to 2007, Maathai served in Kenya’s parliament, and in 2004, she won the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts toward sustainability and her devotion to democracy. In her lifetime, this incredible woman penned four books: The Green Belt Movement, Unbowed: A Memoir, The Challenge for Africa, and Replenishing the Earth. She and the Green Belt Movement are also at the center of the illuminating award-winning documentary Taking Root.

Middle Academy Events
Parents that would like to switch your child from face to face learning to remote learning will need to email Mrs. Jacobs. She must give you a confirmation on the switch before it will take place. Contacting the teacher only does not switch this method of learning. Once a student switches to remote learning they will stay remote throughout the end of the 3rd Quarter.
