Glory

We are hoping to watch the movie Glory this week. Here is a copy of the letter I sent home:
May 26, 2009


Dear Parents or Guardians:

As part of our study of the Civil War, I would like to show the students the movie Glory. The movie stars Mathew Broderick and Denzel Washington and depicts the 54th Massachusetts Regiment and their involvement in the war. This regiment was one of the first made up entirely of African-Americans and is an important part of our history, especially in Massachusetts. The reason for this letter is to inform you that the movie does contain some scenes of violence. If you would like your student to opt out of watching the movie, a replacement movie will be available for them to watch. If you have any questions please feel free to call the school and leave a message on my voice mail. You can also reach me at Jeffrey.duffany@tyngsboroughps.org any time of the day.

Thanks
Jeff Duffany
