<div>On <strong>Thursday, February 14<sup>th</sup></strong>, Stuyvesant High School together with <strong>Stuy ASPIRA</strong> and <strong>BSL</strong> <strong>(Black Students League)</strong> joined to celebrate history, unity and culture at their <strong>Annual Black History Month</strong> <strong>Dinner</strong>. Guest speakers included Stuyvesant Alumnus ’04, <strong>Mr. Andre Brown</strong> and <strong>Ms. Tai Abrams,</strong> CEO of Admission Squad, and author of the book <em>Who Am I?</em> <em>An A-Z Career Guide for Teens</em>. Special guests also were 30 middle school students and their families from the Dock Street School for STEAM Studies preparing for the SHSAT. We enjoyed hearing from <strong>Mr. Contreras, Mr. Colon</strong> and heard readings, performances and poetry from our students both moving and thought-provoking, ending in singing and an enjoyable meal. Special thanks to <strong>Mr. Angel Colon</strong> and all the members of ASPIRA and BSL for this wonderful event. <em>(some photos contributed from Mr. Colon and credit: AA FB page) </em>The month is not over, and we conclude this coming week with more special workshops.
