🌟 Celebrating Black History Month at NDMS! 🌟 In honor of Black History Month, our Core Support classes engaged in an inspiring project to research and celebrate the contributions of famous Black individuals in various fields, including Arts, Sports, Music, Literacy, Science, and Cinema. Students researched, wrote essays, and creatively decorated their classroom doors to showcase the incredible impact these figures have made in our society. 🎨✍️🏆 We are proud of our students for their hard work and dedication in honoring these influential figures and their legacies! We are thrilled to announce the winners of this year's competition! 🏆 🌟 6th Grade: Mr. Mueller's class 🌟 7th Grade: Ms. J's class 🌟 8th Grade: Ms. Chester's class 🌟 UA: Ms. Griffin' s class 🌟 Core Support: Ms. D and Mrs. Savage classes 🌟 Special Shout Out to Mrs. Hatfield's Class! 🌟 We are excited to recognize Mrs. Hatfield's class for their innovative project where they used Khanmigo to interview Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.! 🎤✨ Khanmigo is a fantastic new tool available to all DCPS students, and it’s wonderful to see our students utilizing it to enhance their learning and creativity. Keep up the great work, everyone! Your dedication to exploring history and making it come alive is truly inspiring! #BlackHistoryMonth #NDMS #CelebratingDiversity
