THE PAW PRINT Vol. 1 Issue 5

BSU Black History Month Museum Members of the Black Student Union showed off their creativity and passion for Black History as they turned our library into a makeshift museum full of Black knowledge and Black accomplishments. The museum perfectly timelines the history of African Americans. From the days when Blacks were Kings and Queens in Africa, through the times of Slavery in America, through the reconstruction time period after slavery where Blacks were still fighting segregation and for equal rights of their white counterparts to modern day where some would argue that some issues may be reverting back to old times instead of progressing forward. If you haven’t had a chance to stop in and look around you really should do so. Spending about 10 to 15 minutes in there would enlighten you to things you may have not known or at that very least help increase the knowledge you already have about specific things. Excellent job BSU

Seniors Delores Jetter, James Shaw, Nature Askew, and Zuriel Harris-Scott successfully competed in the first African American History Quiz Bowl. The competition organized by Mrs. Ferguson, the BSU, and Key Club was held at CCAC Northside campus. Our students won first place honors defeating teams from City High Charter School and Propel High School. The competition was tight, with each school doing very well in the individual rounds and in the speed rounds. In case you missed it or want to re-watch the competition, you can go to our school website at www.upcs.net and watch it or search it up on youtube.
