Superintendent @Byearwood1 joined #CPSBest scholars on the African American Heritage Trail walk. Did you know in the 1900s, Columbia was home to one of the wealthiest, self-made women in the nation? One of the world’s leading composer-musicians lived here, too. #BlackHistoryMonth
Superintendent @Byearwood1 heard from the groundhog…winter is still here.
