Principals' Message

Dear CMA Families,

We are excited to celebrate upcoming Black History Month (Feb 1 - Mar 1st) with our students, staff, and families. We are asking for your participation in the following THREE ways:

We invite you into your child's classroom and facilitate one of the following activities:

• Read a book that highlights Black History Month or culture to your child's classroom(s). WE HAVE MANY BOOKS AVAILABLE if you'd like to borrow one! 
• Teach students a dance, song, etc from your cultural tradition.
• Teach students about how you and your family honor important moments in Black History.
• Teach students about a tradition and/or holiday from your culture. 
• Lead students in an arts & crafts activity from your cultural tradition.
• Provide sample size tasting of cultural food with an explanation of how the dish is made and its origin. 
• OR anything else you can think of!!!

Classroom teachers have sign-up sheets for times that you can participate in Black History Month in their classrooms. 

You are welcome to join us for a
STUDENT SHOWCASE!

Classroom teachers are opening their doors for families to view what they have been working on and studying for all of Black History Month!

Showcases will be held on the following days:
Lower School (TK-5th)
