CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A North Carolina school is thinking outside the box to teach students about Black History Month. 

Tuckaseegee Elementary School has been teaching its students about the importance of Black History Month. 

One way is through a scavenger hunt. 

Students quickly identified a person posted on the hallway walls, listing everything they know about that individual's significance to Black history. 

Isabella Castillo, 10, participated in the scavenger hunt. She says these type of activities are teaching and reinforcing what's she learning about Black culture. 

"It makes me feel very loved," Castillo said. "I feel grateful I get to go to a school that talks all about Black history. It's helping me [learn about] important things that happened." 

Barry McCauley Jr. is a parent volunteer at Tuckaseegee Elementary. His daughter attends the school. 

Throughout Black History Month, McCauley has been reading to his daughter's class.

He's also been celebrating the school's Black History Month festivities, which includes HBCU week. 

"We talk about diversity and inclusion, to have a school that teaches and educates all students about Black History Month, understanding it's not only Black history but American history, that's absolutely phenomenal," McCauley said. "I'm from Charlotte, to be able to give back and inspire, encourage and educate about my history, it's extremely important. I'm standing on the shoulders of my ancestors and doing the work I'm supposed to do."
