We also honor Mrs. Edna Johnson!
Ms. Johnson is a paraprofessional and is currently working on her bachelor’s degree in healthcare management and is on the honor roll at Walden University. She is also a woman of God, wife, mother of 5, and grandmother of 10. She loves people and loves learning new things every chance she gets. To Ms. Johnson, Black History Month means the stories, history, accomplishments, heartaches, pains, and legacies that are talked about this month and the fact that people know the truth behind their ancestors lives on and all that they went through for them to be able to live and access and be afforded the same opportunities as everyone else.
Please meet Mrs. Angie Brittingham, who keeps our front office humming along!
Administrative Associate II. Mrs. Brittingham has been with Somerset County Public Schools for 37 years. Black History Month holds value in people’s hearts and is very important in general. Mrs. Brittingham said that Black History Month to her means Honor and is to Celebrate and Appreciate Black Leaders who have made a difference in our lives, she also hopes that as we read more into Black History it will make us all appreciate the culture.

The senior boys and cheerleaders will be honored at halftime of the boys game. Come out and show your Crabber Pride!
We also honor Technology Assistant and Coach, Mr. Brett Sanders who said:
Black History Month is a time to celebrate the contributions of individuals and communities that were by and large marginalized by the power imbalances that were present in society. The opportunities, freedom of movement, and overall ability to determine one’s own path (as a black man) as they exist today, were once inconceivable to a person born black in America. This is a time to remember that the impossible is possible when we have a vision and are willing to take risks and get active.
One of my most prominent experiences with a leader of the community was with a former Principal who said to me, when I was leaving to join Teach for America, "to always bring at least one more person along." That statement was an allusion to the underground railroad. He was reminding me that it is not enough to succeed on your own. Your success should be defined by your ability to expose others to paths and opportunities for self-improvement and liberation from generational curses. Any other measure of success is irrelevant.
Today we honor Mrs. Dawn Mitchell, Learning Support Specialist. Here is her info written by Emory Daniels.
Mrs. Mitchell is a Learning Support Specialist. For the meaning of black history month to her she says “The bar has been set, and having this time each year stands as our reminder that we've come too far to go backwards. We are standing on a legacy, with pride, with confidence, with strength, with voices, with achievements and continuing that work with excellence always, in all ways” She lives by the quote: "I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the thing I cannot accept." -Angela Davis
