Our 3rd Annual Black History Awards took place on Friday, February 15th. This event was not only set up to teach our students a little bit about important African-Americans but also to give them an experience! Numerous students honored famous and influential African-Americans whom they found inspiring. Just like a traditional award show, students presented and were given “awards” as well as performed through speeches, poetry, songs, and dances. Audience members participated in trivia, and students nominated members of our greater Pittsburgh community to receive special recognition of the outstanding work they do every day! Although this celebration takes place during Black History Month, we think it is important that our students understand that learning about Black History can, and should, be done all year long.
