Amazing Grace; by Mary Hoffman
At the January Board of Education meeting, the Ypsilanti Community Schools board members passed a resolution to celebrate Black Lives Matter School Week of Action this year and moving forward. YCS staff came together on Monday, February 3, 2020, and wore in unity Black Live Matter t-shirts specially branded with Ypsilanti Community Schools in support of this resolution and program.
Below is a picture collage of the YCS staff wearing and supporting this week of action. The Black Lives Matter at School website was shared with staff and administrators as an educational option for their classrooms and students.
