-Black history month projects are due Thursday, Feb. 25<sup>th</sup>. Each student was given a significant figure in black history to research. Students were given some information about their figure but they are to develop it further and include some kind of artistic representation of an event in that person’s life, perhaps what they are best known for. These representations may be things like dioramas, collages, photographic essay, or student made drawing.    </td>
