The Story of Us

Celebrating our local change makers and rich local history.

PSE students and teachers have continued the tradition of setting aside February as a month to learn about, recognize, and celebrate local and national African Americans who have made important and lasting impacts on our community and nation. Kindergarten explored the use of quilts to tell stories, First grade was inspired by great African American inventors, Second grade dug deep into the history of our community to learn about and recognize local African American “changer makers.” Third grade created beautiful Jonathan Green inspired paintings and fourth grade studied the African Americans who paved the way to freedom in the American Revolution.

Throughout the year we strive to celebrate the diversity of the US and our great community by investigating, sharing, and celebrating the history and contributions of all cultures to our shared story--we celebrate the “story of us” and the important role that all members play in this story. This is one way that we “make it better.”
