Celebrating Black History Month

🌟 Black History Month: A Year of Hope! 🌟

Today, we came together as a school community to celebrate, reflect, and uplift during our Black History Month assembly! ✨

A Powerful Gathering
We were honored to hear from Danielle Harrison, President of Mission Faith Equity Consulting, who shared inspiring words about resilience, unity, and faith. Her message reminded us:

💬 "Black History Month reminds us that this is a year of hope. We are hope-filled people. No matter what comes our way – we continue to hold on to hope."

🎶 Praise Through Dance! 🎶
This year, our student-led committee brought something extra special—an electrifying praise dance set to "War Cry" by Queen Naija! Inspired by the rich tradition of church praise dancing, this performance was a powerful display of faith and expression.

💬 Behind the Scenes:
“We all had our own unique input on different parts of the dance that helped it come together into something special.”Nija Greene
“Doing our own special dance has been a tradition at Notre Dame, and we made sure to come together again to carry it on for another year.”Dasia Harris '26 (Junior)

Black History Month is about more than remembering—it’s about celebrating, learning, and moving forward with hope. Today was a reminder of the strength and joy that continues to shape our future!
