"Black History Month came alive in both meaningful and fun ways for my 8-year-old! Mahogany is an energetic teacher and kept my son engaged and interested with questions and activities." --Nancy Shadlow

"JBY Academy classes were a fun way for our kids (ages 9-15) to interact with important material in history each week for the past two months. We enjoyed Miss Mahogany’s engaging teaching style with questions and props, graphic organizers, and interesting assignments. My kids have made posters, written letters to famous people, designed an invention, interviewed their grandparents and more as unique ways of extending their learning. I would encourage any parent to sign their children up for Miss Mahogany’s classes—they will learn something new and feel encouraged and excited about learning, too!” --Annette Bannister
