Elementary Scholars Celebrate Black History Month

Wednesday, February 26, 2020—UAS Elementary School atoms, staff and parents came together at a very meaningful assembly that celebrated Black History Month. Our scholars performed some poems and songs that touched upon the meaning of Black History Month and why it is important to know about it. A poem titled “I am somebody" was performed collaboratively by students in all grades, along with their teachers. While the commemorative month is a good time to celebrate the achievements and culture of the Black community, this focus is not intended to be limited to only one month of the year. Students also benefit from learning about the accomplishments and struggles of people of color throughout the year.
