๐ Celebrating Black History Month at LKDSB ๐
Every February, we reflect on the incredible achievements and contributions of Black Canadians. But at LKDSB, we believe in celebrating Black history year-round. Our educators bring Black history, voices, and perspectives into classrooms every day, fostering understanding and respect for the cultural contributions that have shaped our world.
This February, join us as we shine a spotlight on events, lessons, and activities across our Board to honour the lasting legacy of Black Canadians. Itโs an opportunity for students, families, and communities to learn, celebrate, and be inspired by the remarkable individuals whoโve shaped our pastโand continue to shape our future.
We invite you to explore the rich history of Black Canadians, including the powerful stories from our own local communities. Together, letโs build a more inclusive, compassionate, and prosperous Canada, today and every day!โ๐ฟโ๐พโ๐ฝ
