Philadelphia, PA – A Brief Background

Philadelphia is the capital and most populous city in the state of Pennsylvania. Currently the second-largest city in the American Northeast, Philadelphia is one of our country’s oldest and most historically significant settlements throughout its New World history. It was the site of our country’s Second Continental Congress where the Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence in the year 1776, wherein America officially broke away from the British Empire to establish its own national autonomy. Today, Philadelphia still holds its status as a prominent city as an American cultural center and financial hub and is home to over 5,717,000 residents. The nickname of Philly also serves as its motto as being “The City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection”.

Unicorn Jazz & MaST Charter School Author Visit

On April 23, 2021, Lisa Caprelli, award-winning author of the children’s Unicorn Jazz stories and songs will be presenting to the young elementary learners of MaST Community Charter School in two sessions virtually!

The MaST Charter School is a STEM-focused educational environment that is dedicated in its mission of enabling students to hone in on their 21st-century thinking and technological skills. We at Unicorn Jazz are excited for the opportunity to join up with the staff and students of the MaST Charter School as part of our virtual World Read Across America Tour, especially since the school’s vision policy is centered on emphasizing future-based thinking – which is also a hidden theme in our Unicorn Jazz stories to always think ahead despite the obstacle in front of you! We look forward to a productive day of joy, cheer, and educational fun with the elementary students of MaST!
