With Thanksgiving less than a week away and Family Volunteer Day coming up tomorrow, it's the perfect time to show children that even the smallest hands can make a great impact. Elementary-aged children are naturally empathetic, curious, and eager to help. Through volunteering, they can develop problem-solving skills, practice responsibility, strengthen communication, and learn more about their community. All it takes is a little guidance. Here are five simple, age-appropria

Tomorrow is Future Teachers of America Day, a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the early traits that signal your child's potential for teaching, and for leadership in general. As parents, noticing and nurturing these qualities can help children build confidence, empathy, and communication—skills at the heart of teaching and lifelong success. They Love Helping Others Learn Some children naturally enjoy breaking things down for others. Whether they’re explaining a puzzle, gui

Every year on November 15, I Love to Write Day invites students of all ages to slow down, pick up a pencil, and let their ideas take shape on a blank page. More than an academic skill, writing is a lifelong tool for self-expression, creativity, and confident communication. Whether your child already loves to write or needs a little encouragement, these small daily practices at home can make a big difference in how they see themselves as writers. Here are a few meaningful way

Global Entrepreneurship Week (November 9–15) celebrates innovation, creativity, and the courage to dream big —qualities we want every child to develop, whether they grow up to launch a company, manage a team, or lead a community movement . While "entrepreneurship" may sound like a skill for adults, the mindset behind it forms much earlier. Children are naturally curious risk-takers, and the right support from educators can empower them to think independently, take initiative,

This week is National Children's Book Week, and we’re celebrating the magic of stories to open new worlds for children. Founded in 1919, Children's Book Week celebrates the life-changing potential of books and literacy for our youngest minds. This year's slogan, "An Ocean of Stories," reminds us that every great story, like a wave, carries readers to new ideas and dreams . Every student—no matter their age—deserves to experience the joy, power, and growth of reading. 📚 Why

Today's children and teens are surrounded by more information than any generation before them. Through Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more, students access news and information at lightning speed, but not everything they see online is true or helpful. This week (October 27 - 31) is Global Media and Information Literacy Week, and we're highlighting the importance of teaching young people to think critically about what they read, watch, and share. What Is Media and Information

Today is United Nations Day , an annual reminder that global progress depends on understanding one another! Education has always been at the heart of bridging divides across nations, and e very classroom, teacher, and student plays a role in building a more connected, compassionate world. Learning helps us see the world not as a set of borders, but as a web of connections. This United Nations Day, we celebrate how those connections begin in the classroom. 🗣️  Language: A Pa

For high school seniors, fall is about more than changing leaves and homecoming—it’s college application season . October marks a pivotal time as students prepare for the next phase of their lives. Between essays, recommendation letters, and looming deadlines, it’s easy for both students and parents to feel overwhelmed, but this season doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right plan, encouragement, and mindset, students can turn the application process into an empowering jo

This week, October 13-17, marked National School Lunch Week , a perfect time to pause and consider an important—but sometimes overlooked—factor in children’s academic success: nutrition. Strong minds need strong fuel, and what students eat (or don't eat) can have a profound effect on their focus, memory, mood, and overall ability to learn. Breakfast: The Brain’s First Boost A nutritious day begins with breakfast. Students who eat breakfast regularly demonstrate improved memor

Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day ! Observed on the second Monday of October, this day honors the resilience, cultures, and contributions of Native and Indigenous communities. For students and educators alike, Indigenous Peoples’ Day is more than a date on the calendar. It’s a call to think critically, confront the stories that have too often gone unquestioned, and reimagine how we understand American history. A Brief History of Indigenous Peoples’ Day The origins of Indigenou
