The cultural awareness committee of the JMHS National Honor Society hosted a cultural awareness week December 2nd through December 6th. Committee members include: Brendan Hale, Kaleb Harper and James Friend. Each day students were treated to a culturally appropriate greeting, fun fact and question of the day during the morning announcements. During lunch, students sampled Oolong tea, Mexican hot chocolate and Ethopian coffee on different days of the week. The main event included speakers Dr. Chakrabarti and Dr. Covell, both of Bluefield State College during Advisory on Tuesday. The professors educated our students on the Sociology of Religion. In addition to the events planned by the NHS, others contributed throughout the week. The JMHS Multi-Culture Awareness Club designed a bulletin board to be displayed throughout the entire month. Dr. Womack contributed to Africa day by hosting an African culture seminar in his classes. Mrs. Broyles supported the study of European culture by having her students complete activities on Europe day, including learning some of the Polish language. The event was a huge success, and we appreciate the efforts of all students who contributed to the project. Comments are closed.
