Students at Grace E. Metz Middle School will take part in a program on February 26, 2015 to celebrate Black History Month. The theme of the program is, “Remembering Our Past, Inspiring Our Future.”

“The program is a great opportunity for our students to engage in learning about African American History,” said Eneida Thomas, who is the 7th grade Assistant Principal at Metz. “Also, it is a great opportunity for the community to see our wonderful students in action.”

The program begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Metz Lecture Room and will showcase prominent black historians, poets, musicians, athletes, and scientists. Additionally, performances will be conducted by the Metz Ensemble and Step team.

“This program is free to the public and we would really like to get as many people out to see the positive things that are happening at our school,” said Metz Middle School Principal Timothy Arrington.
