During the month of February Blake will begin a wide variety of activities to celebrate Black History Month and help further educate students on different cultures. Feb. 13 will be African-American Keeping the Legacy Day. This is a day when African-American guest speakers come out and share with us their occupations and teach us on how to keep history alive.
Guest speakers are to be announced within the next few weeks.
This week will consist of special lunch activities and a respect pledge lead by Kenneth Muldrow, the school community specialist. The Taste of Ethnicity is a special mini-festival where teachers, students, and parents bring in food from all different ethnicities to share with everyone at Blake. An exact date for Multicultural Day has yet to be decided. To bring a closure to February, there will be a special unity assembly held in out theater. The unity assembly is a special show designed to show Blake's ethnic diversity by a series of performances by Blake attendees.
