Black History Month came to a conclusion with a big celebration! Our talented Warriors decorated the atrium with their beautiful artwork reflecting what Black history means to them. Past the artwork and through the doors of the auditorium, our students and teachers showcased their many talents through dance, spoken word, song, and more. A huge shout out to everyone who helped celebrate this month and shining a light on our amazing students!

Below is Ms. Scalzo's African American Studies class setting up their artwork.

The students brainstormed a product they thought people would like. They had the actual product and a website, showing "investors" what they created. Pitching their ideas in the media center, the students got to see who they could get to invest.

Students from Coach Matthews, Mr. Rencher, Ms. Scalzo, and Ms. Bulgin's class collaborated on our Women's History Month banner (located in the cafeteria) while going on a scavenger hunt to learn more about these iconic women.
