My Project

The story of Black History Month begins in 1915, half a century after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States.

We have the power to make a change.....

We are approaching our Black History program. We are in need of black history poster, banners, balloons, and centerpieces to make our event successful. Parents and a special guest will attend this event. We love to give them a visual of our dream of how we would like to present our representation of color. The students will have the opportunity to present their person, dance, and sing. The students will benefit from viewing the posters and learn about the important people who paved the way for us. I want my students to learn alot from this program.
