Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson\, George Cleveland Hall\, William D. Hartgrove\, Jesse E. Moorland\, Alexander L. Jackson\, and James E. Stamps institutionalized the teaching\, study\, dissemination\, and commemoration of Black history when they founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH) on September 9\, 1915. \n\n\n\nIn 1925\, when Dr. Carter G. Woodson planned the inaugural week-long observance of Black history\, he could have hardly anticipated the imprint he would leave on the world. From Negro History Week to Black History Month\, ASNLH has carried forth the tradition and the observances have become part of the weft and warp of American culture and\, increasingly\, the global community. For its 100th theme\, the Founders of Black History Month urges us to explore the impact and meaning of Black history and life commemorations in transforming the status of Black peoples in the modern world. \n\n\n\nGuiding prompt: Reflect on the importance and significance of African American commemorations and celebrations throughout history. \n\n\n\nThe Literacy Reflections on Black History Elementary Competition is an initiative that celebrates Greater Lafayette K-12 student engagement through literacy and the arts as well as highlighting the impact of African American contributions in celebration of Black History Month. Select awards will be given within four subgroups (Primary K-2nd; Intermediate 3rd-5th; middle school 6th-8th; and high school 9th-12th) for 1st\, 2nd\, and 3rd places for: \n\n\n\n\nEssay (Not to exceed 200 words) Submit Word file or PDF via Qualtrics by deadline.

They will explore such questions as: What chemical reactions occur in our ecosystem? Are they helpful or harmful?Super Summer offers bright kids in kindergarten (K) through fourth grade fun and challenging courses with other academically\, creatively\, and artistically talented youth. Day-long\, interdisciplinary courses are geared at least two grade levels above each student’s current school grade. Students will attend a full-day program of engaging\, hands-on activities related to a central theme. Components from a variety of disciplines will be included at every level\, so children will gain experience in STEM and humanities courses while working on open-ended activities that require critical and creative thinking. \n\n\n\nContact: Yichen Dong \n\n\n\n \n Register Now URL:https://education.purdue.edu/event/ger2i-super-summer-day-camp/ LOCATION:Beering Hall\, 100 N University St.\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:All,EDCI,EDST,Faculty/Staff,Students ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://education.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Directory_743x418.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20260628T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20260628T153000 DTSTAMP:20260403T231216 CREATED:20260309T132850Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260319T201240Z UID:75346-1782635400-1782660600@education.purdue.edu SUMMARY:GER2I Summer Residential Camp 2026 DESCRIPTION:GER2I has been serving gifted\, creative\, and talented students since 1974.
