About this Article

Five students from Elgin Area School District U-46 were honored Saturday for their academic achievement and community involvement at the eighth annual Black History Family Festival held at Gail Borden Public Library. “It’s wonderful to put into the spotlight the positives of the school district and the African-American students, because they rarely are highlighted in a positive light,” said festival founder Phyllis Folarin.
