Black History Month:

A Night of Excellence

On the last day of Black History Month, Rolfe students participated in an event celebrating various African Americans. There were learning presentations, student performances and guest speakers. This memorable event was coordinated by Adia Middleton-James and assisted by Taylor Clemmons, Riche Shaw, Jaylisa Taylor and Amaris Franklin. 

This was a well attended event by Rolfe families.
