February is African American History Month. This year we will spotlight influential black teachers who have made an impact on education in America.
FANNY JACKSON COPPIN
1837-1913
An American educator, missionary, and lifelong supporter of higher education for women, Fanny Jackson Coppin was also the country’s first Black principal. With a passion for educating women, she utilized her role to expand the curriculum to focus on industrial work, develop opportunities to exhibit art created by young women, and push for her students to be hired by employers in positions that utilized their education. In 1926, a Baltimore teacher training school was named after her. Today, that school goes by Coppin State University.

What is kindness?
Kindness matters and it matters every day. Today is day one of our Kindness Week initiative. Start by defining what you think kindness is…it might be a kind word to someone, it might be lending a hand to someone in need, saying thank you to the person who held the door for you, or just smiling at someone. Kindness can be many different things and it is easy to be kind. Ask someone today how they demonstrate kindness. Be Kind. No exceptions!
