As we delve into the vibrant tapestry of history, there are certain moments and movements that stand out, beckoning us to reflect, learn, and celebrate. One such occasion is Black History Month—a time when we honor the rich heritage, resilience, and contributions of Black individuals throughout history. Here at Annandale Terrace Elementary School, we believe in fostering an inclusive environment where every voice is heard and every story is valued. In this spirit, we invited our students and staff to share why Black History Month holds significance for them.

Together, we can create a more inclusive and equitable world where everyone's story is celebrated and honored.
