It is February, so that means it’s time for our African American History Trivia Contest! We will ask a daily trivia question based on the achievements of famous (and not so famous) African Americans.
Be one of the first three people with the correct answer written on a piece of paper to come to the library at your lunch and get a small prize. Your name will then go into the Grand Prize Drawing which will be held at the end of the month.
You will need a library pass from Ms. Clayton at the desk outside of the Main Office before bringing your answer to the library at lunch.
