Student
artwork
and
positive
messages
are
often
the
decoration
in
the
hallways
of
schools.
The
third-grade
teacher
team
at
Marshall
Elementary
School
combined
these
two
themes
to
create
a
bulletin
board
in
celebration
of
February's
Black
History
Month
and
Valentine's
Day.The board features photos of several Black historical figures including the school's namesake, Thurgood Marshall, who served as the first African American Supreme Court justice. After hearing about each person, students wrote about what they learned. They also wrote messages about the meaning of Valentine's Day and Black History Month. The messages were written on hearts and posted on the board.
Jennifer Davis, third grade teacher, shared, "We hope that all scholars gain more knowledge about a new person who has had a positive impact on our culture and society. Not just the everyday celebrities they see on the television."
