We’ve spent a lot of time with educators across Oregon this year, helping to guide school teams through the Early School Success Academy and connecting with our ESS partners multiple times for shared learnings and reflection through our cross-network meetings. We feel so much joy in being able to connect with our school and community partners over the course of the school year. 🌈❤️

In honor of Educator Appreciation Week (and every week!), let’s recognize the many extraordinary educators who are dedicated to nurturing young minds and strengthening the foundation of education from early learning through elementary school and beyond! We are endlessly grateful for all the teachers, educators, administrators, instructional assistants, SPED teachers, and educational mentors who make a profound impact in the lives of children and youth (and us!!) every day. Your passion and perseverance create a ripple effect that extends far beyond the walls of the classroom. We see you and appreciate you! ✨🤩

“Springtime has arrived! In many communities, this means after-school soccer or baseball practice, bike rides until dusk, and the excitement of warmer, drier weather. Spring also means it’s officially testing season in schools across Oregon—a time that can bring a mix of excitement and pressure for educators and students alike.”
