Today we celebrated Black History Month with a visit from legendary Clarkston teacher, Ms. Bertha Freeman and performances followed by Tyler High School Choir and our very own step team.
Celebrating Black History Month is essential for fostering inclusivity, cultural awareness, and a deeper understanding of history among young learners. It provides an opportunity for students to learn about the significant contributions of Black individuals in various fields, from science and literature to civil rights and the arts, helping to build respect and appreciation for diverse perspectives.
Recognizing Black history at an early age also encourages discussions about equity, perseverance, and the importance of standing up for justice. By incorporating books, activities, and discussions centered on Black history, schools create an environment where all students feel valued and empowered, laying the foundation for a more inclusive and informed society.
