Every February, people in the United States celebrate the achievements and history of African Americans as part of Black History Month. Black History Month was created to focus attention on the contributions of African Americans to the United States. It honors all Black people from all periods of U.S. history, from the enslaved people first brought over from Africa in the early 17th century to African Americans living in the United States today. Today, we celebrate the life and accomplishments of Serena Williams. She is a beacon to many as she dominated the world of professional tennis for decades, making a name for herself in the history books. Serena Williams is a tremendous success and an inspiration.

Many of our 5th graders have shown interest in playing an instrument or singing when they get to middle school. To help with transition, the middle school directors will be hosting instrument demos and tryouts for our students. This is a great opportunity to try different instruments before deciding which they would like to commit to. See flyer for more information.
