Two high school age teenagers--one black boy in a puffy jacket and sweatshirt with hood up and a black girl, also in a puffy jacket and sweatshirt but with the hood down--are wearing all black, complete with black latex gloves. They both stand behind a table with catered Marie's soul food displayed as they're in the middle of serving families dinner to help out middle school programming. The girl is on the right and giving a small smile to the camera while the boy smirks gently. They are both leaning up against a white wall with a Thank You sign behind them in black paper and gold lettering.
Middle school coordinator Antoine - a Black man with short tightly kept hair and a well-groomed beard wearing black sweatpants and a black sweatshirt - is reading from a trivia card for a room full of majority Black middle school families, including an older gentleman in a black hat and zip up hoodie and a woman with 3c curly hair, a white long sleeve shirt, glasses and a black and white athletic style cardigan. Everyone is interested and paying close attention to Antoine.
Middle schools’ February family engagement night celebrated Black History Month 👐🏿🖤 Families enjoyed Marie’s Soul Food, trivia, and a slideshow on Black history in Madison, WI. Students played, danced, and tackled an escape room—thanks to Antoine and TEENworks especially for their time!
