Black History Month - Sharing Our Cultural Roots: The prefects are organizing programming for Black History Month in February, and they invite anyone with ideas or suggestions to please reach out to them. The theme for this year is ‘Getting to the Roots,’ and students hope to plan events that help us uncover some of the connections between black cultural traditions and modern trends. As part of this event, the prefects would like to feature profiles about our black students and staff so we can learn more about them and their families. If your child identifies as black and is willing to participate, please fill out this Google Form. The mini-biographies will be put up as posters around the school
