BLS B.L.A.C.K. (Black Leaders Aspiring for Change and Knowledge) and BLS T.A.G. (Talented and Gifted Latino), two grass-roots student-led organizations, will kick off the 2024-25 school year with a BLACK 2 School Information Session and Cookout on Friday, September 13 from 3:30 – 6:00 PM. This after-school event will begin with an informational session in the auditorium and end with a cookout in the back courtyard.
The purpose of the event is to bring together new students, especially new students of color, who often struggle with finding community and their overall acclimation to a new school and environment. The goal is to help incoming 7th graders (Sixies) and 9th graders (Bsies) establish relationships and build a community to help offset the stress and anxiety that can be experienced when struggling to find a home away from home.
The event is sponsored by the BLS Black Alumni Network (BLS BAN). All are welcome. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact blackatbls@gmail.com.
