Black History was celebrated throughout the District during the month of February in assemblies, during morning announcements, on bulletin boards in classrooms and in hallways, in newsletters and through a plethora of other ways. Students at the Aquebogue Elementary School celebrated Black History Month during an assembly that featured singing, dancing, drumming, children’s games and a Parade of Famous Black Americans. Morning announcements during the month of February at the Roanoke Avenue School featured contributions by Black Americans and some classrooms hosted speakers. Jenny Corbin recited speeches by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., his letter from Birmingham jail, and a poem by Maya Angelou from memory to the students at the Pulaski Street School during their assembly. The Phillips Avenue School’s Black History assembly featured song, dance, drama and narrative. The Riley Avenue School celebrated black history throughout the month--especially within the context of a biography unit. The Middle School’s main display area was decorated with famous Black Americans. The High School held a Black History Month/Unity Celebration. THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE WAYS BLACK HISTORY IS CELEBRATED IN OUR SCHOOLS. “BLACK HISTORY IS NOT JUST ONE MONTH!”
