The Howard County Board of Education passed the proclamation naming February 2023 as Black History Month and reinforcing the commitment of Howard County Public Schools to recognize the contributions of African Americans and ensure that all students see themselves in the curriculum. At SFES, we are sharing facts with students on the morning announcements and curricular resources have been shared with staff. We will have a Black History Month Spirit Week February 21-24.  More details are below. In addition, please be on the lookout for more information regarding a Black History Month student assembly later in the month of February.  Permission slips will be coming home soon!
