As we begin the month of February and start of Black/African-American History Month, we are afforded the opportunity to celebrate and commemorate the many contributions made by people of African descent to our nation. The U.S. Census Bureau offers us some historical context for this month’s recognition on their website:
"To commemorate and celebrate the contributions to our nation made by people of African descent, American historian Carter G. Woodson established Black History Week. The first celebration occurred on Feb. 12, 1926. For many years, the second week of February was set aside for this celebration to coincide with the birthdays of abolitionist/editor Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, as part of the nation’s bicentennial, the week was expanded to a month. Since then, U.S. presidents have proclaimed February as National African American History Month."

Dear Parents and Guardians,
We hope you are doing well and have had a restful and enjoyable break. As we prepare for the start of the second semester, we are pleased to inform you that we will be providing students with a few uniform items to support their return to school.
The uniform consists of grey or black shirts and black or khaki pants. To maintain a positive and cohesive school environment, we kindly ask for your support in ensuring that your child wears the proper clothing when attending school.
These uniforms are part of our ongoing effort to promote unity, professionalism, and focus among our students. By working together, we can create a productive learning environment for all.
If you have any questions or need additional support regarding uniforms, please feel free to contact the school office at [phone number] or [email address]. Thank you for your continued partnership in your child’s education.
Sincerely,
Phillip Elliott
Principal
Mary Moss at J. Albert Adams Academy
