Morning Announcements - February 2, 2023

Good morning Euclid High School where we are Respectful, Responsible, and Engaged. Today is Thursday, February 2, 2023 and these are your morning announcements.

The Black History Month 2023 theme, “Black Resistance,” explores how "African Americans have resisted historic and ongoing oppression, in all forms, especially the racial terrorism of lynching, racial pogroms and police killings," since the nation's earliest days. African Americans have faced extraordinary obstacles to progress in the United States of America. Our ancestors have demonstrated tremendous discipline and a strength of response, to create better outcomes for us.

It is time for our Black History Month fact of the day!
Did you know that African Americans served in every major war in United States history?
In fact, dozens of African American naval crewmen, roughly 15% of the famous “Don’t Give Up the Ship”. The Battle of Lake Erie, helped to win the battle and turn the tide of the war against England in our favor.
This battle took place here in Ohio at Put-In-Bay, just off Cedar Point in Sandusky, during the War of 1812!

Ladies and gentlemen it’s time for Black History Month! In celebration, the ladies and males African-American Achievement groups will be hosting the first Culture Potluck on February 22, 2023 from 2:45 PM until 4:00pm. If you haven’t joined already, this event might change your mind. For more information, see Mr. York in room H240A or Ms.  Davis in room H130F.

Happy Black History Month scholars and staff! The LEAD Scholars are back with our annual Black History Door Decorating Contest. This year, we want to tie our theme to the Black History Assembly, "Black Excellence and Achievement: History in the Making". We are asking that each door represent our past as well as our present (i.e., Maya Angelou with Amanda Gorman, Wilma Rudolph with Allyson Felix or Jessica Beard, Thurgood Marshall with Ketanji Brown, etc...). We are looking for teams, consisting of no more than 3 students and a teacher, who are interested in designing/decorating their door. If you wish to participate or have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Davis (H130F) or Mrs. Walling (H279). Contest winners will be announced Thursday, February 23, 2023.
