“Through the art of photography we can see just how human and how special we really are. Images can be powerful reinforcements. They can be examples of who we are and aspire to be. WE LOVE YOU, will share portraits of the Black boys and men in our communities showing each other as well as the world that we are not only human and should be treated as such but, we are LOVED.”

On Thursday we launched Black History Month as a school site. Each classroom received a collection of new books highlighting the contributions of Black people past and present to add to their libraries. Our team has selected four books to be used as a schoolwide read alouds over the course of the month. One book to be introduced each Monday of Black History Month with a student speaker introducing the book during the morning announcements. Additional read alouds, writing pieces, videos, and activities will be happening in classrooms based on grade levels.

2024 Black History Month

2024 Black History Month

Understanding Black history is integral to understanding the history, issues, and the future of our country. One of the founding documents of this country, the United States Declaration of Independence, held that "all men are created equal." However, the long history and the impacts of enslavement, segregation, and redlining are still felt today.
