Churchill School Celebrates Black History

Students and their loved ones converged on Churchill School last night for the school's annual Black History Museum, an exhibition of what students learned about during Black History Month. Among the many exhibits were clay sculptures inspired by the work of Augusta Savage, biographical reports and book reports on noteworthy African-Americans, and even dancing inspired by the Harlem Renaissance and the Cotton Club.

Well done, Bulldogs!
