St. Brother André Catholic High School in Markham, Ont., was proud to celebrate its student, Angelika, whose original artwork was featured at the Jean Augustine Chair in Education Black History Month Event at York University.
The event honours the legacy of the Honourable Dr. Jean Augustine, the first Black Canadian woman Member of Parliament and cabinet minister, and brings together students, educators and community leaders to celebrate Black excellence. Angelika’s stunning artwork was displayed at the event, a remarkable recognition of her talent and creative vision.
Angelika even had the opportunity to meet and be photographed with Dr. Augustine herself.
This wonderful achievement was made possible, in part, thanks to the support of the York Catholic District School Board’s (YCDSB) Black Excellence Graduation Coaches, especially Saran James-Vaughan. Their dedication helps YCDSB students reach their full potential and access opportunities like this one.
Congratulations, Angelika! Your talented artwork is an inspiration to the entire YCDSB community!
