Hey ROOS,

Please checkout the short article, which leads to reflecting on our CKH monthly trait of KINDNESS! 🤟

Turning Frowns Upside Down: Let’s face it – school stress can feel heavier than a backpack full of bricks. A well-timed joke can lift spirits faster than a helium balloon. Laughter releases those magical things called endorphins, making the classroom a happier place to be.

Last Thursday's Black History Month Program at Killeen High School was truly inspiring! The event brought together students, teachers, and community members to honor the rich history and culture of the Black community. From powerful performances to moving speeches, we celebrated the contributions and resilience that continue to shape our world. A big thank you to everyone who made it such a memorable evening!

" From our earliest days, Black History has been American History! From the slaves who carried the stones to build the White House to the Black soldiers who helped to fight for our nation's independence. African American culture has profoundly shaped American culture, music, arts, literature, and sports. Through dance they have told the stories of who were, who we are, and who we can be. During Black History Month, we celebrate the people who have shaped our heritage. We remembered those who struggled for our rights and our freedoms. We reflect on how far we have come and how much farther we have to go. Happy Black History Month, a power of a movement! "

------ From Barack and Michelle Obama

To me, Black History Month is a time to reflect on and celebrate the contributions, achievements, and resilience of Black individuals throughout history. It gives us the opportunity to foster awareness and understanding of struggles within the Black community. Black History Month also allows us to learn more about the often-overlooked stories of lesser-known Black individuals as well as honor the legacy of influential figures we already know.

Mrs. Courtney Green expressed that Black History means PRIDE ! It is the opportunity to be proud that the steps from people, of the past and known as our ancestors, have paved the way for us today.

Mr. Reginald Mouton expressed that Black History provides the opportunity for him to educate himself and others on the history of his ancestors and their contribution to this American way.

Ms. De'ja Higgins expressed that Black History reveals you to know your roots and where you came from. Black History helps to define yourself, so that the world cannot define you!

Ms. Torshal Cook stated, "Black History Month is a celebration of how far I've come in succeeding from the discreditation from my identity, honoring our ancestors and their hidden contributions, and as I continue to endow time to understand that there is work to be done."
