On Feb. 10, the Maine Association of Family Consumer Sciences (MAFCS) will celebrate National Family & Consumer Sciences Educator Day 2021. This celebration showcases the value and importance of family and consumer sciences education and its educators. FCS education takes place throughout all 16 of Maine’s counties in a variety of public and private grammar, middle and high schools, college, university and community settings across all generations.
“National Family & Consumer Sciences Educator Day is one way to pay tribute to the positive impact that family and consumer sciences educators have on individuals, families, and communities every day,” notes Stephanie Knight, MAFCS board member. On Feb. 10 MAFCS will be thanking FSC educators and supporters throughout the State of Maine including those who teach FCS principles at public and private schools, through the UMaine Cooperative Extension, local businesses, community and youth organizations such as FARMS, 4-H, Family, Careers, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA),as well as in grocery store and healthcare settings.
