The third and fourth graders at Homewood’s Churchill School hosted a celebration of Black History Month and welcomed their families and friends to share what they learned.
“We started this program a few years ago as a way to share the learning that takes place over the course of the month,” said Churchill Principal Cece Coffey.
The evening program on Thursday took participants to various parts of the school to see colorful art displays, vignettes of famous people, researched information and an introduction to drumming presented by music teacher Dana Kubas. She led multiple drumming sessions to give parents and children the chance to recognize and play different beats.
