Kwanzaa

Kwanzaa is a celebration of life rooted in African culture, observed from December 26-January 1. Through the engaging Kwanzaa resources you’ll find here, your students can learn about and celebrate the seven principles of Kwanzaa: unity, self-determination, collective responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.
