As February comes to a close, we reflect on the many ways SJE has celebrated Black History this month. A museum of artifacts in the school lobby, classroom lessons, daily features on Black heroes, weekly highlights in Morning Assembly, and decorations around the school all led up to a Black History Month Assembly and Dress Up yesterday.
At our assembly, Ms. Farris Christine Watkins, the granddaughter of Dr. King's sister, shared with the school about her grandmother's experience growing up in the King family and the legacy passed down to her. She read from her grandmother's book, "My Brother Martin" and inspired our students to go out and "turn the world on its head," a goal Dr. King had from a young age.
Please enjoy some samples of the assembly performances and features throughout the month in the video below! We know that Black History remains an important part of our school well beyond February and hope this month has inspired our community to share their backgrounds and come together in unity.
