Neighbors of Black and White presented winners of its fifth annual Black History Month poster contest at Great Valley SD, emphasizing inclusivity and student leadership. A representative of Neighbors of Black and White told attendees the program aims “to help nurture a culture here at Great Valley where everyone can feel welcome, encourage students to learn more about black achievers and related nonprofits, to highlight students' talents in art, research, and writing.”

The representative said this year’s contest marks the organization’s fifth year sponsoring the event in the district and noted that organizers have added volunteer leadership opportunities for high school students. A student participant described the experience as a chance to learn and grow: “It's also a chance to learn, so maybe if you don't know and you want to learn, like, it's a good way to branch out,” the student said.

Organizers congratulated entrants and signaled the awards distribution. Presenters framed the contest as both an arts and civic-education activity aimed at increasing awareness of Black achievers and nonprofit work among Great Valley students. Details about the number of winners, categories, or prize amounts were not specified in the transcript.
