March is celebrated as National March Into Literacy Month, which goes beyond just reading and writing. Literacy should be enjoyable, and this is why National March Into Literacy Month holds significance.

The theme for this month is “Celebrating a Nation of Diverse Readers.” The goal is to promote reading through inclusive books, enabling children to discover their unique voices and explore new worlds.

Every Friday in March, Learning Tree was delighted to invite guest readers to read to our students. We extend our gratitude to Mrs. Vaughn, Mrs. Coello, and Mrs. Dawkins for sharing their passion for reading and creating a safe and enjoyable environment for our students.

As Educators, it’s important to us that all students and staff feel seen and supported. Ramadan is meaningful to many members of our school and community, and acknowledging that is part of creating an inclusive environment.

Happy Ramadan ☀️ Sending you peace, blessings, and joy during this special time.

🏫The Learning Tree is just not a school IN the community but we are also FOR the community ❤️

Dr. Joycelyn Elders, 92 years old and a retired pediatrician, stands as a trailblazer in American public health. She is a proud graduate of Philander Smith College (now University), where she earned her BS in Biology degree and graduated as valedictorian.

Rising from humble beginnings in Arkansas, she went on to become the first Black United States Surgeon General, appointed in 1993. A fearless advocate for public health equity, Dr. Elders championed expanded healthcare access, comprehensive health education, and preventative care for underserved communities. Her leadership challenged the nation to confront difficult conversations around health disparities, reproductive health, and systemic inequities.

From the classrooms of an HBCU to the highest medical office in the country, Dr. Elders’ legacy is a testament to the transformative power of HBCUs and the bold leadership they cultivate.
