Stomp! at Oxford School

During February, schools throughout the Halifax Regional School Board take the opportunity to celebrate African Heritage in various ways. However, it’s important to share that the rich and vibrant African Nova Scotian culture is celebrated in many schools year round with the help of HRSB’s African Nova Scotian Student Support Workers.

In addition to acting as student advocates and liaisons between home and school, African Nova Scotian Student Support workers provide cultural programming for students of African Descent. Programming is unique to each school, but essentially, students are learning about their history and heritage.
 
At Oxford School, African Nova Scotian Support Worker Cindy Cain runs choir and Stomp! groups for students each week.

What does this cultural programming mean to the students who partake? Hear from the Stompers themselves in this video.
