It's easier to wake up each day when you love what you do. Yesterday, I was surrounded by educators from near and far, dedicated professionals committed to creating high-quality learning experiences for multilingual students. From early morning conversations to exchanges during breaks and reflections at the end of the day, I connected with teachers who aren’t giving up, they’re gearing up. Teachers who understand the assignment. Teachers who, despite the challenges beyond their classrooms, remain steadfast in their mission to provide the very best for their students. I am truly inspired.

Madison School in Rahway celebrated Black History month by learning how to research facts about their favorite individual who greatly contributed to our country.

Their favorite part was constructing a bottle representation of their individual.

Go, Rahway Literacy!!
