Our students need more recess, unstructured play, Physical Education, all the Arts, and extracurricular activities! That's how they learn to regulate emotions and interact with each other more positively.

To every teacher as you wrap up the year and recharge for next year. This is for you... You deserve more. More pay. More respect. More recognition. You should be treated like the professionals you are—because that’s exactly what you are. And yet, even when the system falls short, you don’t. You still show up. You still pour your heart into your students. You still believe in their potential, even when they don’t believe in themselves. Thank you—for being their constant. Thank you—for helping them grow into who they’re meant to be. Thank you—for making a difference that can’t be measured by a paycheck. There is no adult outside the family who matters more to a child than a teacher. Never forget that. Never underestimate your impact. Thank You!
