Kindness counts. 🧡

One of the best coincidences just happened. On Tuesday I told you about Principal Kathleen Kelbaugh at Chatsworth ES. She swept the floor, carried chairs, and anything to help set up for my program. She is WONDERFUL! Today at Hereford MS I met her daughter Camryn Kelbaugh, an 8th grade science teacher. Guess what??? She is WONDERFUL TOO. 🧬 Just imagine what she is doing in the classroom. (My dad was a middle school chemistry teacher, so this is near and dear to my heart!!!) 🍎 The apple truly does not fall far from the tree. 🥰 @BaltCoPS you have some true gems here and even better keeping in a family thing.

When your bus is late…BUT you get to watch Lion King Rehearsal !!

Gavin Falcón, 17, believes teens’ voices should get more sway statewide, especially when it comes to decisions that directly affect their lives. Last summer, the Long Reach High School junior and other students asked Howard County representatives in the Maryland General Assembly to help them craft new laws to allow students like them more say in decisions being made about their education. The General Assembly is now considering these proposed laws. While passage of the legislation remains to be seen, it could open the door for teens across the state to strengthen their voices, too.
