Week Seven: As February comes to an end, we encourage you to reflect on how celebrating Black History Month should not be designated for a month, rather it is a practice to incorporate in our everyday lives.

What would you be doing? L&C Volunteers would be talking to the 3rd graders at Alder. You would generally talk about College, what you study here, and your path to college. It would be interactive and engaging, with the hope of inspiring the kids to think about going to college someday.
