Today, Feb. 1, marks the beginning of Black History Month. Montclair Public Schools is celebrating with a variety of educational and enrichment activities during the entire month of February. Although African American history is integrated throughout our year-long curriculum at all levels, teachers and students are making a concerted effort in the coming weeks to further explore significant African American historical figures and associated events. Displays throughout schools will feature art, literature and general information reinforcing the curricular programs while a multitude of assemblies, programs and classroom-specific activities will emphasize the accomplishments of notable African Americans throughout history. In the coming weeks we will continue to share snapshots of some of these activities on Twitter and in a wrap-up at the end of the month here on the district website. Check out Nishuane's planned activities. Stay tuned for more!
