Celebrating Black History Month
Celebrating Black History Month
Celebrating Black History Month We discovered the incredible dance, music and culture of West Africa.
Our warm and friendly global community is comprised of children representing more than 30 nationalities! To celebrate the school's diversity, our Multicultural Committee plans events and initiatives that foster awareness and appreciation of multiculuralism and global interdependence.
This month our celebration of Black History Month kicked off with a boom. The students watched a high-energy and inspiring performance of "Amazing Africa" by Urban Gateways. It featured the incredible dance, music and culture of West Africa. Throughout the month, students are learning about African and African American culture from lessons and school displays to a quiz competition.
