I've been thinking about all those good people in our communities who want to help teachers and support their community schools.

I often get asked, what can we do to help?

In the past I would tell them to volunteer and be supportive of teachers.

But here's what we really need

It’s no secret I want to be a principal, but one of the things that keep drawing me back to the classroom is the connections. Anything from graduation and wedding invites, connecting on social media, and students becoming teachers because you had that impact on them #weareoneteam #EduSky

When I taught 3rd grade, I invited guest readers to bring stories to life—some visited in person, while others shared through recorded videos. One memorable moment was a parent reading traditional Ukrainian folktales, which we absolutely loved! #EduSkyChat

A3: I think it’s knowing your student population and finding the few tools we can be really good at to enhance learning and meeting cultural needs #EduSkyChat

A2: I think for me it’s important myself and the students family are on the same page as far as communication. Some of my colleagues will translate emails to make sure it says what needs to be said #EduSkyChat
