Hyde Park School has been busy learning, creating, and exploring during Black History Month. Our theme is "a part of history, still making history." Each door in the school was decorated by students and staff to highlight the accomplishments of an important figure in both Black History and the present day. The doors will be judged to receive prizes!
The Men of MORE have been reading a history fact over the announcements each morning, helping our school community learn about important Black Americans. We also have speakers coming to speak to our students, including Tianey Amat, CEO of Cincinnati Works, and Cedric Cox, a local artist.

Our youngest students are in need of some assistance during lunchtime. Tasks like opening cheese sticks, yogurt lids, and even putting straws in drink boxes can be challenging to little hands. If you could spare 30 minutes of your time, please join our lunch period to help make the most of this important time! You will need to check in at the main office at 10:00am and will then be directed to the cafeteria. |
