Lake Forest North Elementary School, located in Felton, DE, is an award-winning Title I school comprised of grades Kindergarten through Three with a mission to make America great by giving students the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to become successful, responsible citizens in this ever-changing world.The school’s Black History Month Celebration was an entertaining and enlightening melange of songs and portrayals of notable African-Americans. Noting “Black History is American History,” Jenkins encouraged the youngsters to “read and learn as much as you can about the contributions of Blacks and others in history all year.” His remarks also focused on the importance of being a good and well-balanced student; listening to parents and teachers, and caring for others; at home, in school and in their community.
