Lovely to see our S2 engage so enthusiastically with our brand new unit on Native Americans. They've learned about the cultural areas that existed before the arrival of Europeans, different tribes and their culture. They loved getting creative making dreamcatchers! @official_DHS

Very late to the Twitter post but we had a very successful LGBT+ History Month at @official_DHS. We learned about LGBT issues across the world, Section 28, the HIV Crisis and of course, LGBT Icons. Wonderful work, S3! @tiecampaign @LGBTYS
