🎙️ This Black History Month, we’re proud to share stories rooted right here in Chesapeake.

You’ll also hear from Principal Wade Sloan of Portlock Primary School about how students honor Black History Month in meaningful ways that help them confidently say, “I can.”

We’re proud to recognize our very own Mr. Titi, who was recently honored by the Chesapeake Police Department for his years of service with the Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association. His dedication to volunteerism and community partnership is truly inspiring. We're grateful to have such a dedicated role model at GBP!

The GBP STEAM lab has been busy with 2nd graders designing, building, and testing animal transportation vehicles to relocate animals after their habitat was destroyed by a tornado.
