If you see more students getting off the bus wearing black on Friday, it’s because of an inaugural celebration in our province.
For the first time, Nova Scotia’s public schools are celebrating Black Excellence Day.
It’s a show of support to celebrate the success of Black students.

You are encouraged to use the #NSBlackExcellence when posting photos to socials.
We are preparing for Black Excellence Day tomorrow. Thank you Cheetahs for Change for painting these fabulous portraits! Don’t forget to wear your black t-shirt tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/c5o5gJmHML
