Giffen Memorial Elementary School celebrated Black History Month on Friday with song, poetry, dance and more.
Besides staff and student performances, the show featured a short film about data scientist and inventor Valerie Thomas; students from different classes were quizzed about her accomplishments afterward, and those with the correct answer won a prize for their class.
The event wrapped up with a talk by Paul Stewart, a co-founder of the not-for-profit Underground Railroad Education Center.
