Hello West Campus Families,

As a reminder, there is no school tomorrow as it’s the Lincoln birthday holiday. 

Black History Month Artist Spotlight: Faith Ringgold – an American painter and published author, Ms. Ringgold enrolled to attend City College of New York in the Art program.  However, she was required to enroll as an Art Education major as women were not allowed access to every major in 1948 (women could be Art teachers, but not artists).  To see her art, click here. 

Happy New Lunar Year to those families who celebrate! Yesterday, February 10, 2024 marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year celebration.  For more information and details regarding this celebration, please click here. 

It is time for the annual Rotary Speech Contest.  For more information, click here.  Winners can receive cash prizes and this is a great opportunity for students to develop their public speaking skills.
