Brown Elementary Students Celebrate Black History Month

February 2009 - Brown Elementary students and our reading specialist, Ms. Bynum, pose for photos commemorating the school's Black History Month celebration. 

During February, Ms. Bynum (pictured right) reads a description of a famous person daily on the announcements, and the students put their answers in a large answer bag.  Every morning she draws the name of the winner for the day and that student comes to the office to receive a prize.

The staff and students also created an African American bulletin board with photos and descriptions of famous Blacks in history (see photo below).

Ms. Bynum, is pictured with 2nd grade student Ben L. for winning in the Black History Trivia.
