Carter G. Woodson: 1875-1950
the Father of Black History
“No man knows what he can do until he tries.”

History is a story. For a long time, history mainly focused on the achievements of kings, queens, and powerful leaders. In the 18th and 19th centuries, historians began using a more scientific approach, studying evidence to make history more accurate.

Black History Month is a time to remember the struggles and achievements of African Americans in all areas of life, from science and the arts to politics and civil rights. It helps all Americans gain a fuller understanding of history and the role African Americans have played in shaping the country.

Black history is American history.

Throughout the month, our school will recognize the importance of Black Americans in the fabric of our nation through activities relating to the curricula in various content areas.

CASINO NIGHT - February 13, 2025

On February 13, 2025, the LVMS PTA will be hosting our biggest fundraiser of the year! We hope you will join us at The Chandelier at Flanders Valley for an incredible night out. Upon arrival, you will check in, collect your funny money, and find your seat upstairs. You can then grab a drink (wine and beer are included with admission) and head downstairs, where there will be hors d'oeuvres to enjoy while you play casino games from 6:00 to 9:00. If you need a break from the fun downstairs, you can return upstairs to enjoy the buffet-style dinner and photo booth. At the end of the evening, you can cash in your funny money for raffle tickets for a chance to win a prize in the tricky tray portion of the evening. The drawing for those prizes will take place from 9:15 to 10:00 while dessert is being served. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Melanie at brattonmelanie83@gmail.com.
