Members of our staff spent the weekend in Delaware for the 2026 @MidStatesCSS! It was wonderful to connect with educators from NY, PA, NJ, MD, & DE, and hear how well-received our free K-12 black history & excellence curriculum is in the classroom. Our founder @BobWoodson was also honored as the keynote speaker for the conference, which was such a treat. Thank you to Jennifer @msjingold and the rest of the Middle States team for making us newcomers feel so welcomed!
