Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

This week teachers in California are celebrated for their dedication to our students and their families.  Every day teachers go above and beyond to meet the growing needs of our students, and work tirelessly to ensure they have the education they deserve.

Beyond the much-appreciated cards and gifts this week, there are two critical ways to appreciate teachers.

The first is to stand with us in protecting our schools and our students from the attacks by the current administration.  Our public schools, and our students, are worth protecting.

Second is to stand with us in our fight to fully fund our schools. Now is the time to provide the funding we need so that our students get the education they deserve.

Thank you to all of the teachers who are working so hard in this unbelievably stressful environment. You show up every day, making sure every student feels safe, feels welcome, and receives a quality education.
