Students at Montevallo Elementary will celebrate Black History Month with a performance entitled “A Trip to the Museum of African American History.” Two performance will be held on Thursday, March 13.   A group of fourth and fifth grade student performers will make the Museum of African American History come to life through a medley of speech, song, and dance.

In the skit, the performers travel through time, taking a guided field trip tour of the museum. The students will interact with animated statues (performed by other student actors) of influential African Americans who changed the course of history.  The time-travelers will also be entertained by pop dancers and steppers as part of their guided museum tour. 

MES students in kindergarten-second grades will attend the first performance at 8:00 a.m.  Third-fifth grade students will attend the second performance at 9:00 a.m.
