Black History Month is a time to recognize, appreciate, and learn from the diverse and significant contributions of Black Americans throughout history. It's a chance to celebrate their achievements in art, science, politics, sports, and more. By studying the accomplishments and legacies of prominent Black figures, we can gain a better understanding of the rich tapestry of our nation's history and the ongoing fight for equality.

Did you know that Black History Month began as a week-long celebration in 1926? It was created by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a historian and author, to honor the achievements and contributions of Black Americans throughout history. In 1976, Black History Month was officially recognized by the U.S. government and expanded to the entire month of February. Let's explore and learn some interesting trivia about Black History Month! Included in this newsletter is a Trivia Game for students and families to play and complete together! Submit this form with answers to the office for a prize! Good luck!

Parents,

There may be an increase in lice transmission during winter months due to the wearing of coats and hats. In order to prevent the spread, please remind your students not to share their coats and hats. If you suspect your student has lice, please notify the school nurse. She will check your student and contact you with information on how to treat your child and household. Information for our lice procedures and prevention can be found on the YSD 1 website at: https://www.york.k12.sc.us/Page/1586

If you have any questions or would like more information on how to prevent the spread of lice, you may contact our school Nurse- Nurse Coe at 803-925-2116 or our YSD1 lead nurse, Harriett Kinsey at hkinsey@york.k12.sc.us.
