Hi First name / friend!
Have you guys had the most wild week ever?? Because I definitely have never had a more hectic week in basically as long as I can remember. Education (and the whole world honestly) is pretty insane right now, but there has been some serious beauty this week too.
In moments of hardship, you see the best and worst in people right? It's like that quote - when something tragic happens, look for the helpers. Because especially in the world of K-12 education, those helpers are everywhere. Yes, teachers are burned out. But I've also watched teachers cover classrooms on their planning period all week. Yes, we are more than ready for a break. But I also watch the teachers I work with staying late to call a worried parent or paying for a winter coat out of their own pocket.
I believe teachers are some of the most inspirational and incredible people in the world. And luckily, since I work in an elementary school everyday, when I look for the helpers - they aren't hard to find.
Such love for you all.
Em✨
