Queensbury engaged students in a meaningful exploration of influential Black figures and their contributions to society by celebrating Black History Month.

Students participated in research projects focused on notable individuals, ranging from civil rights leaders to artists, scientists, and activists.

In classrooms, teachers facilitated discussions about the historical context of these figures, encouraging students to delve into their lives, challenges, and accomplishments. Students worked in groups to present their findings, using creative formats like posters and presentations.

The initiative not only fostered a deeper understanding of Black history but also promoted critical thinking and teamwork.
