nticipation is building with the Rialto Unified School District and District African American Parent Advisory Council (DAAPAC) for the annual Black History Celebration.

All are welcome at the Black History Celebration on February 24, 2024, at Wilmer Amina Carter High School Theater Hall, located at 2630 N Linden Ave., Rialto, CA 92377. from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This event will showcase a vibrant tribute to African-American culture and heritage, offering a platform to honor “unsung heroes” whose contributions have

shaped history, both locally and nationally. Admission is free, and all members of the community are encouraged to attend.

This year's theme, "Celebrating Our Unsung Heroes," aims to shine a spotlight on those individuals whose impactful deeds and influence have often gone unrecognized. The RUSD staff and DAAPAC, working together, are thrilled to present a rich, educational program that will put a spotlight on unsung heroes both local and national, according to the committee leaders.

“We are very excited to celebrate Black History Month in the Rialto Unified School District,” Dr. Rhea McIver Gibbs, RUSD

Lead Strategic Agent, stated. “This year we are highlighting unsung heroes. Unsung heroes are those people who do great things every day, and they may not be recognized or they are not even the ones who seek recognition. But, they are making an impact on the lives of students, staff, and families. This is an inclusive event that everyone can attend, on February 24th, as we celebrate the contributions of our unsung heroes.” Attendees can expect a vibrant array of student performances that highlight unsung heroes throughout decades. Awards for the students, staff, and families will be presentRUSD, cont. on next pg.

ep. Aguilar celebrated House passage of the bipartisan tax reduction bill that will help lower costs for hardworking parents, bolster the local economy and drive innovation.

The Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act increases the Child Tax Credit (CTC) for hardworking families from $1,600/child per year to $2,000/child per year by 2025. In California’s 33rd (formerly 31st) Congressional District, the expanded CTC benefited 168,000 children while

in effect in 2021, and this revitalized CTC is expected to help at least 61,000 households.

This bill also provides needed tax relief for businesses by allowing them to deduct the full amount of a research and development investment from their taxable income, as well as allowing businesses to factor equipment depreciation into their tax deductions. “Our country has seen tremendous economic progress over the last three years, and this bill will continue to drive forward the progress we have made for families and

businesses in the Inland Empire by lowering their taxes,” said Rep. Aguilar. “The expanded Child Tax Credit and the other tax relief provisions within this bill will help us support our hardworking parents, help local businesses continue to grow and create more good-paying jobs in our region.”

“CCRC is honored to partner with Congressman Aguilar around the passing of H.R. 7024, the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act, by the House of Representatives. This bill includes proviTax Credit, cont. on next pg.
