Niles second-grade teacher Amanda Tricomi and her daughter, Clio, 5, check out the Black History Month storywalk at Stevens Park last week. The storywalk was opened last fall as a collaboration between the McKinley Memorial Library and the Niles Parks Department. The 18 panels can be changed for various themes. Tricomi asked her students at Niles Primary School to create drawings and poems using the words âfriendship, peace and equality.â
NILES Niles City School District students contributed to the Stevens Park storywalk by creating various images and messages to promote Black History Month.
The storywalk, located in the northeastern section of the park, was opened last fall as a collaboration between the McKinley Memorial Library and the Niles Parks Department. The storywalk includes 18 panels that people can read like a book as they walk through the park.
