    Our February Family Night centered on Black History Month. Students at Harrison Community Center presented their History Fair projects focused on Black History to judges from the district (Vera Smith and Rebecca Lindholm) as well as ICC students and Dr. Kamara. Students chose history topics that were interesting to them and used research skills to learn more about their topics. Students enjoyed sharing their history boards with the judges, students, and parents. After the viewing of the project, students enjoyed reading with parents and taking AR tests. The night ended with a “Soul Food” dinner that was delicious!
