Poem for My Bahamas Day-

The red is read by everyone

Come go with me to Bimini, 

A jewel where ocean and sky agree. 

The "Gateway to The Bahamas," bold and bright, 

A paradise for fishers, day and night. 

Cassidy: In the North, thrill-seekers find their bliss, 

With deep-sea fishing and adventure’s kiss. 

La’Nya: Sailboats glide, and the reefs invite, 

Where snorkeling and diving spark pure delight. 

Cayleb: In the South, tranquility reigns supreme, 

The Fountain of Youth fulfills a dream. 

Rionardo: Explore the mangroves, peaceful and grand, 

With soft sandy shores where we walk hand in hand. 

T’erah: Hemingway roamed where the waves embrace, 

Finding solace in this tranquil place. 

Carlyn: With Martin Luther King’s legacy in the air, 

The spirit of freedom lingers everywhere. 

Calhan: Discover the Bimini Road’s ancient tale, 

Where the whispers of Atlantis sail. 

Whylie: Dive through the reefs, vibrant and alive, 

In this island wonder, our souls revive. 

Blaire: Mangroves sway in a gentle dance, 

In Bimini’s charm, we find romance. 

Kylie: From beaches of powdery white to sunsets aglow, 

In Bimini’s magic, our hearts overflow.

It’s a gospel showdown—let’s see who’s legit!
So tell me now, in this holy place,
What Child Is This? What Child Is This?"

(Crowd cheers!) 

GRADE 5 HAMILTON:

🎤 Yo, in Bethlehem, there’s a story untold,
A child born humble, yet worth more than gold.
Mary and Joseph, on the road, no room,
Baby in a manger, the King of the womb!
Shepherds in the fields heard the angelic sound,
“Good news of great joy!”—the Savior is found!
Wise men followed, bringing frankincense,
This child’s the Messiah; now it’s making sense!

🎶 Haste, haste to bring Him praise,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

(Rapper steps up)
🎤 Yo, listen up, y’all, it’s Brown on the mic,
Spreading Christmas cheer, bringing truth to the fight!
The prophets foretold it, Isaiah did say,
A child would be born to take sins away.
The star in the sky was shining so bright,
Guiding the wise men through the dark night.
Jesus is the reason we celebrate now,
Brown squad’s got the gospel—let us show you how!

(Team chants)
🎶 B-R-O-W-N, we praise the King again!
Born in the stable, but He reigns without end!

🎤 Born in a manger, yeah, He’s the Lamb,
Saving the world, that’s the heavenly plan.
Gifts from the wise men: gold, myrrh, and frank,
We give Him our hearts—yo, who do we thank?
🎶 Jesus!

Grade 5 Brown Freestyle:
🎤 Angels singing, “Glory to the King,”
The Prince of Peace, hear the heavens ring!
Love came down, yeah, the Savior is born,
We’ll praise His name on Christmas morn!
🎶 Jesus!

Outro (Host):
🎤 Alright, y’all, that was fire! But the real winner is Jesus,

The Blockade 

During the American Civil War (1861-1865), the Union navy created a blockade to prevent the Confederate states from trading with other countries. This strategy was called the Union Blockade. The Union wanted to stop the South from exporting cotton, which was their main crop, and from importing weapons and supplies.

The Bahamas, especially the port of Nassau, played an important role during the blockade. Ships called blockade runners would leave the Bahamas and try to sneak past the Union navy to deliver goods to the Confederate states. These ships were fast and small, making it easier for them to evade the Union's ships.

The blockade runners carried items like cotton, tobacco, and wealthy to trade for weapons, medicine, and other supplies. This trade made many Bahamians successful, as Nassau became a hub for Confederate goods. However, the Union navy captured many ships, and the blockade caused great hardship for the South.

In the end, the blockade was a major factor in the defeat of the Confederacy.
