We are so excited to celebrate Black History Month together! Thank you to Willow parents Natalie Webb and Tiffany Crawford for organizing a wonderful month of events for our students, teachers, families, and parents. Natalie, Tiffany, and Willow’s Head of School Francisco kicked off our month of celebrations with a special Morning Gathering that you can watch below:
This Morning Gathering was just the first of many special Morning Gatherings planned for this month on a range of topics, from songs of the Civil Rights Movement to African dance, the story of Ruby Bridges, and more. Tune in to these presentations on Mondays and Fridays this month on our YouTube channel.
