Mount Vernon STEAM Academy holds Black History Month Showcase featuring student performances

On Friday, February 28, 2025, Mount Vernon STEAM Academy held its annual Black History Month Showcase. 

Throughout the three sold-out lunch periods, STEAM dancers performed through different styles of dance like contemporary and Caribbean mashups, while other students played music on guitars such as “All of Me” by John Legend. Other students recited spoken word poetry about the importance of unity, and there was even an acting a skit to highlight deeper meanings of celebrating Black History Month.

Additionally, Dr. Cervantes, Spanish teacher at STEAM, performed an original song that she wrote. All the acts were tied to the theme of the show: African Americans and Labor. The show was hosted by seniors Kaylin Vidaurre and Kayla Humphrey.
