February is Black History Month. Topeka Public Schools celebrates the diversity of our school district. Throughout the month of February, schools will be holding activities related to Black History Month.
At the February 5, board of education meeting, student winners of the Living the Dream contest were recognized. TPS students won multiple awards in poetry, essay and art. Board of education members heard a wonderful speech from Scott Dual Language magnet School 5th grader Deandre Hicks. His speech can be seen on the Topeka Public Schools district website, www.topekapublicschools.net.
