PE Department celebrates Black History Month

The PE Department celebrated Black History Month by watching a video of the remarkable journey of Rebeca Andrade, a Brazilian gymnast that achieved her dream, with incredible achievements and results, including 6 Olympic medals, 4 of which she achieved in Paris 2024, with a gold medal in the individual floor final! The students heard about the challenges she has faced growing up, showing her resilience as an individual in walking 2 hours each way to training sessions when her mother couldn’t afford a bus ticket and moving away at the age of 10 to train professionally in another state. The students were then asked to write a letter to Rebeca explaining how she has inspired them. Please see some photos of the letters written!
