OFEA is the union that represents the dedicated educators of Olmsted Falls City Schools. Proudly serving our students and community 25 min from Cleveland, OH.
Students & staff were able to taste locally grown fauxtato chips made w/radishes & hommade ranch w/fresh dill grown by Urban Ag students in the farm on campus. What better way is there to show off the importance of local food sourcing!? From OF school farm to cafeteria table!

Very Important!
PLEASE CHECK ON YOUR TEACHERS.
I’m a teacher in your community.
Today I taught reading, math, science or history.
But I also gave food to a hungry child.
Calmed a child who couldn’t calm themselves.
Listened to a child tell me something that broke my heart.
Sat beside a student who felt completely alone.
Tried to understand the behavior everyone else was frustrated by.
And somehow, I kept teaching.
Then the bell rang.
But I didn’t stop thinking about them.
Are they safe tonight?
Did they eat?
Will someone hug them?
What will they walk into when they get home?
Could I have done more?
We call it compassion fatigue. Secondary traumatic stress. Burnout.
But sometimes it just feels like carrying a little piece of every struggling child home with you.
Tomorrow morning, I’ll come back.
I’ll smile.
I’ll open my door.
And I’ll be the calm, safe adult they need again.
I’m not asking you to feel sorry for me.
I’m asking our community to remember:
The people taking care of our children need someone taking care of them, too.
Check on a teacher.
Thank a bus driver.
Encourage a counselor.
Support a principal.
Show some grace to the school secretary who has already handled 37 problems before 9:00 a.m.
And advocate for schools to have the mental-health support both children and adults desperately need.
Because when we take care of the people who take care of our kids…
we take care of our kids.
— Dr. Bryan Pearlman
