Valley Central students highlight Black History Month, presidents' birthdays and Valentine's Day
Summary
Students from the Valley Central School District's WFS Media Club presented a February segment noting Black History Month, Presidents' Day observances for Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, and Valentine's Day.
Annabelle, a student at Valley Central School District, said during a WFS Media Club segment that “February is Black History Month.”
In a brief school-broadcast segment, students framed February as a month of multiple observances and celebrations. Annabelle said the month “is a special time when we celebrate and learn about the important contributions of black people throughout history.” The segment also noted Presidents' Day-related birthdays for Abraham Lincoln and George Washington and pointed out Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14.
The on-air remarks emphasized learning and recognition rather than school policy or programming changes. The segment invited peers to use the month as an opportunity to learn about “leaders, artists, scientists, and everyday heroes,” and linked those observances to classroom activities and school discussion. The script also included a lighthearted reference to a groundhog reportedly seeing its shadow and a humorous comment that the students “already found that we should have 6 more weeks of winter.”
The WFS Media Club sign-off encouraged viewers to check the Valley Central YouTube channel for more episodes and reinforced classroom values about daily effort and learning.
The segment was presented as part of the school's regular media-club broadcast and did not propose any administrative or curricular changes on the record.
