Black History Month
February 1st represents the beginning of Black History Month. EWSD strives towards anti-racism 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. It’s also valuable to spend this month highlighting and honoring the accomplishments of Black authors, artists, musicians, community activities, presidents, vice presidents and many others. We found some amazing resources to share with you that can be used throughout the year.
We often hear questions from our community about the Black Lives Matter Movement and want to share a resource that may be helpful. Here is a link to the 13 Guiding Principles of BLM at School and some other useful content you may want to check out.
Congrats to EHS Student, Samikchhaya Pradhan
Valentines to Essex Seniors
