Dear Global Impact Academy Families,

As we celebrate Black History Month, we take this time to honor the rich heritage, resilience, and contributions of Black leaders, innovators, and trailblazers who have shaped our world. This month is a reminder of the strength, perseverance, and excellence that continue to inspire generations. At Global Impact Academy, we are committed to fostering an environment of inclusivity, respect, and learning as we recognize the impact of Black history on our shared future.

We encourage our students, families, and staff to reflect on the lessons of the past while embracing the opportunities to create a more just and equitable future. Through education, dialogue, and celebration, we uplift the voices and stories that have paved the way for progress. Let us take this time to celebrate Black excellence and continue striving toward a brighter tomorrow for all.

We here at Global Impact Academy are excited to celebrate next week with our Black History Month Celebration on Thursday, February 27th during Advisement as well as our Spirit Week beginning on Monday, February 24th through Friday, February 28th

With gratitude,

Johnathan Hall
