As we look forward to yet another fun filled and successful month here at Akron Career Tech High school, I would like to take the time to highlight some of the great things that took place here during the month of February. First I would like to thank our staff and students for buckling down during this month's testing. Their collective efforts made everything run smoothly. Also, I would like to thank all of the staff that assisted with helping the CNA (certified nurses assistant) students to get their certification for this year. We are so proud of these eleven students. Some have already put their certification to work by obtaining employment in the field. As you know, February is the year's shortest month but offers so many things to do and observe. Here at Akron Career Tech High School we acknowledged this year's Valentine's Day with an "end of the day" celebration filled with Valentine themed snacks and goodies.
Last but not least, February is also Black History Month. We kicked Black History Month off by starting a Black History "Wall of Fame". Students were encouraged to look up information regarding influential African Americans and their many contributions that
ultimately helped shape this country. Our Media Arts Class took this past month to put together a (school wide) production called A Black History Month Celebration Podcast which can been seen on this blogsite. And to end the month with a bang! We had The BLUE Group of Minority Behavior Health stop by to educate our students about the musical legacy of the African American experience.
