Celebrating and Honoring Black History

Celebrating and Honoring Black History

During Black History Month, we align with America in celebrating and honoring the culture and contributions of Black individuals and communities, but our efforts cannot and will not be limited to one month.  
 
Black history is integrated into our curriculum throughout the year because Black history is American history. It is impossible for American history to be fully understood without acknowledging the contributions and experiences of all Americans. From the arrival of enslaved Africans in the early 17th century to the ongoing struggle for civil rights and racial justice, the history of Black Americans is deeply intertwined with the history of the United States.  
 
Celebrating and honoring Black history is essential to understanding the past and creating a more equitable and inclusive society for all Americans. This month, we will showcase various ways our teachers incorporate Black history into our curriculum, as well as activities and events that our students, parents, and community members engage in to commemorate the month.  

As stated in our EDI statement, we commit to delivering an educational experience in which every student can learn, grow, and be fully prepared to succeed in life. We include a range of perspectives and experiences in our curriculum, as well as teaching methods that are inclusive and responsive to the needs of all students.  

We are proud of the collective efforts made by Country Day, every day of the year, to foster a culture that respects and values all members of our community.
