Black History Month Independent Study

Each February we present the girls with a Black History Month Challenge, in the form of an independent study, entitled: Black History Month 2009 - Mission Possible. The parameters of this assignment are published in their entirety on our SGS 8th Grade Homework blog - so be sure to check it out! We're envisioning a visit to the Northwest African American Museum on Thursday afternoon, February 12th - a meaningful opportunity within walking distance of SGS! You are encouraged to commune with your 8th grader on what invariably proves to be a most interesting endeavor. Recognizing that we're each on our own journey of awareness, our goal is to have each student identity and define her growing edge with regards to the African-American experience...and then challenge it! Your sage suggestions and ideas are always welcome!
