Join PIQE’s Black History Month Celebration Challenge!

Embrace. Educate. Empower.

This February, the Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE) proudly honors Black History Month, a time to celebrate the rich heritage, achievements, and cultural contributions of the Black community. In our continuous commitment to uplift and educate, we invite you to join us in a special journey of discovery and acknowledgment through our Black History Month Celebration Challenge.

What is the Challenge About?

Our Black History Month Celebration Challenge is a dynamic, interactive social media campaign designed to spark conversations, share knowledge, and inspire actions that make a difference. Every weekday of February, we’ll explore different facets of Black history and culture, from the unsung heroes and influential figures to the vibrant arts, activism, and future changemakers.
