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."
