North Ridgeville Schools Ranger Round-Up

Celebrating Black History Month

NRAC Associate Principal Andrea Vance welcomed members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. to our school to engage with students through book readings and thoughtful discussions.

Students gained meaningful insight into Black history and culture while enjoying an interactive and enriching experience. We’re grateful for our guests and the opportunity to learn together!

Each week, we’ll feature one video showcasing how these businesses are shaping our community through creativity, hard work, and innovation.
