American Education Week

Celebrate Public Education!

American Education Week is the week in which we celebrate public education and those who contribute to the goal of ensuring a quality education for all children. American Education Week will be celebrated November 16-20 this year with daily celebrations. Check with your child’s school to see what you can do to recognize the effort of those who work tirelessly for student achievement and to participate in the planned activities.

The National Education Association’s 93 annual celebration includes house parties, Parents Day, Educator Support Professionals Day and several other spotlights. Visit their website @ http://www.nea.org/grants/19823.htm for more information about these celebrations.

To help plan and promote American Education Week’s celebration days, NEA is offering an online toolkit, complete with promotional materials, activity ideas, and downloadable templates. The toolkit is available at http://www.nea.org/grants/47604.htm. This is a great way to check out the programs available at your child’s school and to get to know what your child’s day is like.

Communicate with us and tell us how you plan to celebrate American Education Week and thank those who help to ensure that every child received a quality education. Reach out to us on facebook, twitter, or our website.

Blessings to you,

The Mckie Family
