Black History Community Celebration

Dear Cootes Paradise Community,

We are proud to introduce "Black Fire," our newly formed Grade 4/5 Black Student Voice Leadership Team at Cootes Paradise Elementary School! This inspiring group of young leaders has come together to amplify Black student voices, foster a sense of belonging, and celebrate Black culture within our school community.

One of the first initiatives led by Black Fire is organizing a special community event for Black History Month right here at Cootes Paradise. We warmly invite you to join us in celebrating Black culture, history, and achievements while building community.

We hope to see you there! Thank you for your support in empowering our student leaders as they make a meaningful impact in our school and beyond.

Best regards,

Cootes Paradise
