As we wrap up the month of February, it is important to take notice of the amazing and accomplished African Americans, both from the past and in the present. For those of you who are not aware, February is black history month. This year, we had the opportunity to take part in a door decorating contest, where our class chose Tiger Woods. On our door, we displayed all of his accomplishments and his contribution to society as well as history. Sadly, our door did not win first place, but we sure did learn a lot! Some of the other doors in our hallway included Serena Williams, Jesse Owens, Martin Luther King Jr., Elijah McCoy and Michael Jackson.
Today, we attended a black history celebration ceremony. Let me be the first to say it was AMAZING! We had quest speakers, a drum line, two solo dancers, a solo stepper, and even presentations from Tealsey students. What an amazing opportunity we had to come together and share culture with everyone. It was so inspiring to the students, as you will be able to tell by the amount of noise in the gymnasium. Here are a few pictures and videos for you to watch. Enjoy!
Our very own Kameron was recognized for her hard work and perseverance! What a special moment!
