Our annual event will be celebrating the stories, voices, brilliance and creativity of our African American students, families, staff and community members.

When:  Friday, February 24th, 2023

Where:  Hintgen Classrooms (in person or prerecorded)

Our intention is to build positive school, family, and community relationships.  The purpose of our event is to bridge literacy, family engagement and cultural relevance.  Collaborative efforts make this event meaningful, purposeful, and memorable for all.

African American community values of unity and self-determination guide our celebration, which joins families, guests, staff and students – AS ONE – for Read Your Heart Out day at Hintgen Elementary School.

Honoring our past includes celebrating culturally relevant forms of communication, like oral language traditions, proverbs, storytelling, and language development.

Respect, dignity, and pride are portrayed throughout the school and all cultures come together to create a sense of collectivism and community within our school and our greater community.
