Student-led event inspires future leaders

Two students perform during Pine Hills Elementary School's Black History Month assembly.

Our school-wide Black History Month assembly was a wonderful collaboration of leadership, creativity and fun!

We kicked off the event with the Black national anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” courtesy of grades 1 and 5. Our guest speaker was Jammella Anderson, who founded the Free Food Fridge project. We finished with grade-level presentations about notable and history-making Black Americans whose dedication, hard work and success has made Albany, New York State and the United States more equitable for all.
