Maureen M. Welch Elementary School
Home of Kit Kat, the Wildcat
Dear Maureen M. Welch Families,
This month students will intentionally learn about Black History and the many struggles and achievements of African Americans.
Of course it is wonderful to recognize the contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks, but there are many ways to go beyond the typical inventors and sports heros so that every child can connect to and learn from the amazing contributions of the African-American community. Multiple grade levels will be participating in activities and our library has an extensive array of books on black history.
One wonderful thing about children's books is that they can be a mirror that reveals something within ourselves or a window that shows us something new in the world around us. During Black History Month, we hope you will take the opportunity to celebrate the diversity and commonality of our country and its people by checking out a book from our school library.
Warm regards,
Rebecca Grimm, Principal
