Elementary School Newsletter 2.6.2023
Black History Month is here! This month allows us to honor and reflect on the many important contributions of Black Americans. Black history is undeniably American history. This month is a time where we can put a spotlight on Black achievements, untold stories, and culture. In celebrating Black history, we can better understand how diversity, equity, and inclusion are important to making a positive impact on our community. Learning about Black history helps us connect the past issues of today and help us solve problems and become a more inclusive society.
