Black History Month

In light of celebrating Black history month we are pleased to announce that HOZA! Creative Mediation will be performing at Our Lady of the Annunciation on Wednesday, February 15th at 1:45pm in the gym for grades 1-8. The performance Mandela: gifts from a leader is a joyous celebration and tribute to the life of Nelson Mandela. In 1998 Mandela addressed 40,000 students at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. Through live music, song, story, dance and student participation the show encourages our students to keep building on Mandela’s legacy of truth, reconciliation, peace and justice.

Throughout the month of February students will be highlighting the contributions of Black African Americans like Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks, Ruby Bridges. These stories will be shared during the morning announcements.
