📚✨ This February, we proudly honor Black History Month—a dedicated time to reflect on the remarkable contributions of Black Americans throughout history. Established in 1926 by Carter G.

🌟It's time for another Meet our Team Monday!🌈✨ This week, we're thrilled to introduce you to Miss Mandy Klida, our January Employee of the Month and English teacher at John Glenn High School! 🍎📚 ✏💙 In her own words: "I am a born and bred bobcat. I was lucky enough to attend Bangor Schools and then come back and teach. My entire career of 20 years I have been a bobcat! Whether it is helping students reach their goals, talking about a piece of literature, or helping to provide Christmas for the students of Bangor, my favorite part of the job is making a difference in the lives of young people. I strive to set the example that all dreams are worth pursuing and life is better when we support each other. To those considering education: nothing can "fill your cup" like a hug from a student! For 20 years, I've been incredibly blessed to work with the students who have entered my classroom. It has been an honor!" 💙🐾 Let's shower Miss Klida with appreciation for her dedication to education and for being an inspiration to us all! 👏💙🍎 #MeetOurTeamMonday #EmployeeOfTheMonth #ImagineInspireInnovate #BobcatNation

On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, let's journey into history to commemorate the profound impact of a visionary leader. Dr. King dedicated his life to civil rights, advocating for equality and justice. Take a moment to learn about his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, delivered in 1963, emphasizing the dream of a nation where everyone is judged by their character rather than skin color. Explore the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a landmark legislation prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Understand the pivotal role it played in shaping a more inclusive society. Reflect on the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a powerful protest against racial segregation in public transportation that ignited the civil rights movement. As we honor MLK Jr.'s legacy, let's engage in conversations about racial equality, justice, and how we can continue the journey towards a more equitable future. #MLKDay #ImagineInspireInnovate
