STUDENTS CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY

In recognition of Black History Month, Christa Kelly's kindergarten class at Parkside Elementary School made history come to life by transforming an ordinary history lesson into The Oprah Winfrey Show. The students were asked to research famous African Americans and then present to the class various interesting facts about each one.
