💛You're Almost There- and You're Making It Count

Published 26 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

It's hard to believe, but here we are, just a few weeks from the finish line. You've taught lessons, wiped tears, tied shoes, cheered kids on, and probably answered a thousand questions a day. You've shown up, even on the hardest mornings. And you've created a space where your students feel safe, seen, and inspired.

That's not small. That's magic.

These final weeks can feel long and emotional- full of energy, excitement, and exhaustion. But they're also a time of celebration, reflection, and connection. So breathe in this last chapter. You've planted seeds all year long, and now, you get to see them bloom.

Whether your days are filled with end-of-year projects, field days, or hugs you'll never forget, remember:

👉You've made a difference.

👉You're still making one.

👉And the finish line is in sight.

You've got this- one day, one smile, one deep breath at a time. I'm cheering you on! 💪

One of my students, Laurryn, is extremely proud that her dad is from there. Her eyes lit up when I told the class last week we were heading to Haiti...the class has been waiting all year for this day! 🤔So how I am going to have a 6 year old...
