Black History Month Activites

Hi all!  This year we have a few activities going on for Black History Month.  I have listed the activities below, and how to get involved.

Door Decorating Contest

All classes are encouraged to decorate their door based on an important and influential Black Figure.  4th Grade was to choose 1 actor or actress.  For our class, we will decorate our door based on Quvenzhane Wallis (Kwah-venn-ja-nayy).  She is most famously known for her role in Beasts of the Southern Wild and the 2014 Annie.  She has won many awards for her breakthrough roles and is also known for being the Youngest Best Actress Oscar Nominee.  Most information, and a picture of our door, to come.

  

Wax Museum

This year we are offering a new activity for kids to deepen the study into black history.  Students are encouraged to be a part of our Wax Museum.  Please click here for more information on how your child can get involved.

Book Reading
During our assembly on Friday 2/17, we will be having a book reading by Adam Herndon the author of The Story of Alonzo Herndon.  The students will have an opportunity to pre-order the books and have them signed by the author himself!  Here is a pre-order form.  Please print it and return it by Monday, February 13th, 2017.
