Check out the outstanding efforts of Mrs. Abby Fullenkamp's class at Northside! "We haven’t been able to go outside for recess since Christmas break. So, we found an inside recess project to complement our Black History Month unit. The kids worked so hard on this... They were so concerned about staying in the lines so the pictures would fit together perfectly. I’m so proud of them, and we learned a lot! - Mrs. Fullenkamp #BlackHistoryMonth
