Achieve Miami celebrated Black History Month with our first music performance of 2021 on February 26. Achieve Miami students have been learning music during Achieve After-School, a five-day-a-week program that teaches elementary students the basic fundamentals of music. Students also participate in reading, singing, and music tech classes.
A fun time was had by all who attended our virtual performance. Thank you to the many parents/family members and Achieve Club Members/Big Buddies who came out to cheer on our amazing students!
To watch all the performances, please visit our YouTube channel! One special video to check out is Achieve Miami’s first teacher / student collaboration video – Rockstar.
