Black History Month

February is Black History Month. Black History is Our History. While the month of February is dedicated to studying influential Black Leaders, PS 118 is dedicated to incorporating concepts of inclusivity, justice, and equity into our everyday curricula. For example, in science class, fourth-grade students researched black scientists. They created posters highlighting their achievements in science. Class 1-218 created an underground railroad quilt. Class 4-317 worked together to construct a beautiful mosaic of Amanda Gorman as well as highlighting some influential black leaders.
