February is not only the month of love but it also known as African-American History Month. Every year both FHS holds a celebration in recognition of African-American heritage.
“The first year that I was involved in the planning process [in 2011] there was about 75 people who attended. Last year the program grew about 130 people,” African-American Heritage Celebration coordinator Rachael Allen said.
Everyone is invited, students may bring along friends, family and relatives. This occasion will be held in the cafe of FHS at 6:30pm on Thursday, Feb. 20.
For entertainment there will be dance, music, singing, and the FHS jazz band. Poetry will also be performed, commonly known as spoken words.
“As we look to continue adding to the program each year, we welcome all who are interested in becoming involved,” Allen said.
