📚 Black History Month Spotlight

Carter G. Woodson, often called the “Father of Black History,” dedicated his life to ensuring Black history was studied, recognized, and celebrated. In 1926, he launched what began as Negro History Week — the foundation of today’s Black History Month.

His work reminds us that understanding history helps shape a stronger, more inclusive future.

Today is the perfect reminder to take a few minutes to clean up your files, organize folders, and tidy that desktop. A clutter-free computer can help boost productivity, reduce stress, and make it easier to find what you need when you need it.

The Emory Autism Center recently partnered with Tift County Schools to provide direct support to families of students with Autism.
Dr. Matt Segall was on site to lead a parent training focused on helping Tift County families better understand postsecondary options, transition planning, and available supports for students after high school.
Families received practical guidance on preparing for college, employment, and independent living, as well as strategies for building self-advocacy and long-term success. This training strengthened family confidence and capacity to support their students’ transition into adulthood.

🧪 Happy National Periodic Table Day! 🧪

Did you know the elements on the periodic table are arranged in rows (periods) and columns (groups) based on increasing atomic number and similar chemical properties? ⚛️✨

The periodic table helps scientists and students uncover patterns in matter and understand the building blocks of our world.

🎶 Fun fact: There are even songs and mnemonics that people use to help remember the elements—science and music make the perfect duo!

Celebrate the science behind the elements today!
