El cierre de año escolar es mucho más que el final de un calendario académico. Es una pausa para mirar atrás, valorar el esfuerzo de cada semestre y reconocer cuáles fueron las lecciones aprendidas. Cada grupo, cada clase y cada reto enfrentado se convierte en una oportunidad de crecimiento profesional.

@EricLDaugh @SeldenGADawgs Everyone should care about fraud, no matter what political party.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the individuals who gave their lives in service to others.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

Va a ser un concurso magnífico y une manera fuerte de honrar la herencia hispana.

"Write with purpose. Be authentic."

The stories students choose to tell matter—and so do the voices behind them. The Raíces National Essay Contest invites students to explore the living presence of Hispanic heritage in their own communities through writing that is personal, meaningful, and deeply connected to culture, identity, and place.

With the contest deadline approaching, now is the time to encourage students to reflect, research, and share the stories that deserve to be seen and heard.

Learn more and submit before the contest closes on June 15th: Raíces National Essay Contest https://t.co/5jDsqqBxTH

@unlimited_ls How can anyone hurt an innocent child? That kind of monster should never be free again.

@nettermike What did they expect?

[Vista Higher Learning Pre-K-12 @VHLPreK12]

As we near the end of National Teacher Appreciation Week, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible impact educators make every single day.

Your dedication goes far beyond the classroom—shaping confidence, building connections, and helping students find their voice in more than one language.

Thank you for creating spaces where culture, curiosity, and communication come to life.

Here’s to you—not just this week, but all year long. 💛

The Raíces Essay Contest invites students to look closer—at the street names they pass every day, the local businesses they know, the traditions they celebrate—and uncover the lasting impact of Hispanic heritage in their own world.

This experience goes beyond traditional history instruction—it expands how students think about it. Through inquiry-driven writing, students connect identity, culture, and place in ways that bring learning to life.

Perfect for classrooms looking to bring relevance and voice into ELA, social studies, or world language instruction.

@Chicago1Ray @SecScottBessent Nobody should get rich in politics on the salaries they make; definitely suspicious.

@Sassafrass_84 I had forgotten about how inappropriate and offensive that was, most especially on a religious holiday.

@Rightanglenews Great parenting - teaching responsibility. I hope that her son gets treatment and learns from her fine example.

[Parthena Draggett @ProfeSra]

@mattvanswol There must be consequences for criminal actions to deter people. Why set them lose to hurt the innocent? They sweet little girl did mot have to die. Prosecute the judges who are putting criminals before law-abiding citizens.
