Each February, we observe Black History Month to celebrate the many achievements of African Americans in every field, from science and the arts to politics and religion, and to recognize their central role in U.S. history.
Our Upper School theme for this year’s Black History Month celebration is Black Success Across the Decades. Be on the lookout for engaging posts via the DDD.
Many thanks to Victor Lopez for assisting a struggling English teacher with a large package. We appreciate your KINDNESS, Victor!
Aditi Myana has exhibited extraordinary leadership skills with her Advisory while working on the Act of Kindness project. Without her organization, charisma, and guidance, the project wouldn’t have come together. Thank you for showing your PASSION as an emerging leader, Aditi.
Madikay Ndiaye showed TEAMWORK when he let a student shadow him for the day. THANK YOU!!!
