DETAILS: Black History Month Trivia Contest
Posted on 01/17/2025









Greetings #TeamLCPS Family!


On behalf of Louisa County Public Schools, we are excited to announce that LCPS will be hosting its seventh annual Black History Month Trivia Contest during the month of February! This exciting contest is sponsored by LCHS graduate, Kerry Wynn (Class of 2009) and The Kerry Wynn “Why Not Me?” Foundation. Kerry is a former NFL defensive lineman and – most importantly – a perfect example of the qualities we value here at #TeamLCPS! This contest is very near and dear to Kerry, and we are honored to partner with him to host it!


The 2025 Black History Month Trivia Contest is specifically for all 5th-grade students at Louisa County Public Schools. We have provided all 5th-grade students with a comprehensive study guide. Between the dates of February 3 and February 14, each elementary school will be asking students to take a short, 25-question quiz. While taking the quiz, students will need to use their school-issued device and they will not be allowed to use the internet for any other purpose than to take the quiz. Your child’s teacher will provide more details about when your child’s classroom-level quiz will be conducted.


The top four scorers at each of our four elementary schools will be invited to the division competition at Louisa County Middle School in late February. Should your child qualify for that competition, we will provide further details so that your student can join us for the event!  We are excited to say that Kerry also plans to attend the event!


Here’s some more exciting news! The top three finishers in the division competition will each receive a cash prize:


1st Place - $100

2nd Place - $75

3rd Place - $50


The study guide included with this letter is to be used for both the classroom-level and division-level contests. We would love for all students to participate. However, this is not a mandatory competition. If you would prefer your child not to participate, please let your child’s teacher know that they will not be participating.


At #TeamLCPS, we cherish the impact that African Americans have made throughout history. This contest is a great way for your child to learn many incredible facts and tidbits about African American history, culture, and traditions!


If your child’s study guide gets lost or damaged, please email [email protected] for a replacement copy. The study guide is also available online on your school’s website.


Please contact me if you have any further questions!
