The final #WordyWednesday of 2025 is: ...

… anticipation! Anticipation is about looking toward the future with purpose. Informed by the lessons we’ve learned and energized by the future opportunities to support students and schools, here’s to you and to 2026! 🥂💙

Background: dark blue with light blue text overlay featuring words like thriving communities, every student, and advocate. The focal point is of a chalkboard titled “Wordy Wednesdays” followed by “December 31, 2025”. A dusty blue banner, with the abbreviation WED is at the top left with the Stand For Schools logo in the top right. Background imaging remains similar throughout the rest of the images. Text reads: “Anticipation - expectation or hope; look forward to; be sure of. Anticipation is the sense of future energy that comes from preparing for what’s next. As a new year approaches, it reflects excitement about new opportunities, continued collaboration, and the work ahead. Anticipation fuels momentum and keeps us focused on what’s possible.” Text reads: “A Note from The Stand For Schools Team: Thank you so much for your support throughout 2025. As we head into 2026, we are excited to continue working together on our mission for the advancement of public education in Nebraska.” Background image [dark blue backing with light blue words overlay] with Stand For Schools logo in the center.

#WordyWednesday: Party season is here! Work-dos, reunions, and all the Christmas celebrations are in full-swing. If you’re looking for a fun way to describe the livelier gatherings you’ll be heading to at the end of this year, remember the saying ‘“da steppt der Bär”! 🐻💃

Today, our #WordyWednesday focuses on transparency and how that applies to education policy. Transparency matters. When policy decisions are made in the open, communities can better understand what’s happening, why it matters, and how to engage.

Text reads: “Transparency - the quality of allowing light to pass through so that objects behind can be distinctly seen; the quality of being open to public scrutiny.” “In politics, transparency means that decisions, processes, and the use of public dollars are open and visible to the people they affect.” Text reads: “Transparency in Politics - the quality of being open to public scrutiny; decision processes, and the use of public dollars are open and visible to the people they affect. Transparency helps build trust, allows communities to stay informed, and ensures leaders can be held accountable for the choices they make. Transparency looks like clear rules, accessible information, and opportunities for public input - not decisions made behind closed doors.” Background image [dark blue backing with light blue words overlay] with Stand For Schools logo in the center.

#WordyWednesday: In German, “Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof” (“I only understand train station”) means “I’m totally confused”. English says “It’s all Greek to me,” French/Spanish/Swedish use Greek or Chinese… but Germany? They opt for the train station! 🚉

#WordyWednesday 🍺 Ever notice how languages say the same thing in different ways? English: “It’s not my business”. German: “Das ist nicht mein Bier” (“That’s not my beer”). Same meaning, German style!

#WordyWednesday: Last night in 🇩🇪, lanterns jingled and swayed for St. Martin’s Day, with children singing “Rabimmel, rabammel, rabum!”. These mimetic words echo how languages hear the world: like English’s ding-dong and German’s kling-klang. Do you have a favourite sound-word?
