Our 3rd grade students presented their Black History Museum on Wednesday. During Black History Month, students researched African Americans who made a significant contribution in the past. They learned about people from all walks of life, including, musicians, artists, authors, scientists, athletes and so many more. They created visuals and set up a Black History Museum to share what they had learned. Parents, families, and fellow students came to the museum to see what the students had learned.
