On February 24th, the students at Barbara Bush Middle School participated in a school-wide assembly to commemorate Black History Month. Various theater students dressed up and spoke as prominent figures in History including Maya Angelou and Oprah Winfrey. Other students chose to learn songs and sing for the assembly in between talks. Art students created “Face Jugs” that have historical significance from early American history.
An Engineer from Lockheed Martin Came to Speak at BBMS
All of the students were taught by the guest speaker, Mrs. Dionne Williams, Engineering Manager at Lockheed Martin. She spoke to the students about how she earned her multiple degrees and how she kept working on things that are important to her. The assembly was a wonderful way to cap off our learning about many of the important contributions made by African-Americans throughout history.
