Celebrate Black History Month
|
February marks Black History Month, a tribute to African-American women and men who have made significant contributions to America and the rest of the world.
While Black History Month often features prominent figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, and Jackie Robinson, there are countless other African-Americans who've made a profound impact in history: self-made millionaire Madam C.J. Walker, world-renowned sculptor Edmonia Lewis, carbon filament light bulb inventor Lewis Howard Latimer, open-heart surgeon Daniel Hale Williams, science-fiction writer Octavia E. Butler, and "Father of Black History" Carter G. Woodson, who lobbied extensively to establish Black History Month as a nationwide celebration, among many others.

Parent Survey: Tobacco Use Prevention Education
|
This school year, the Contra Costa County Office of Education TUPE (Tobacco Use Prevention Education) program has received increased requests for parent and staff education on the topics of e-cigarettes/vape pens and marijuana/cannabis.
While we provide comprehensive prevention and intervention programs and services for young people in our schools, we know that adults also want to learn more, especially on the evolving issues of e-cigarettes/vape pens and marijuana/cannabis. We want to ensure that everyone has access to accurate and relevant information.
We are asking for your input to assist us with determining what information and resources are most critical for us to gather, develop, and share.
Respond to the online survey here.
There are no right or wrong answers and your responses are confidential. Thank you for taking the time to respond!
