SMS students share Black History Month projects

Posted

Mrs. McLeod, Ms. Somerville, and Mrs. Powell's students followed the 2023 national theme "Black Resistance" for their Black History projects this year. The class completed their projects and thoroughly enjoyed learning about each historian. They also participated in their annual class-wide competition. There was tight competition among the students. The winners were: 1st place was poster #3 about Jesse Brown, 2nd place was poster #2 about Claudette Colvin, and 3rd place was poster #5 about John Lewis.

The teachers would like to extend special thanks to all retired Emanuel County educators, Emanuel County Board member Sandra Swinney, various community members, and SHS faculty and staff that voted on the projects. Special thanks to Mrs. Syvetta Young for coming to the classroom and personally congratulating the students on all their hard work.
