My Project

My elementary school values learning about and celebrating diversity all year round. However, when national awareness months come around, we really try to go all out. We decorate our hallways and classrooms, we play inspirational music upon arrivals, read books, and learn from our morning announcements.

Please help us celebrate Black History Month with posters, decorations, and various learning tools!

It is so important to represent all cultures and to help our students learn about and appreciate differences. We really want to be able to use these materials year after year!
