It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

Today begins #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth! 💙 The time has come to demand #MoreForMentalHealth and suicide prevention. Sign up to become a mental health advocate with @AFSPnational and raise awareness at moreformentalhealth.org

Getting busy with educators in Menlo Park, CA @goMPCSD to discuss what's getting in the way of incorporating more antiracist practices. Powerful. Reflective. Vulnerable. I wish I had teachers like this when I was a kid. I am encouraged that times are changing.

Courage over comfort.

Ohhhh…this lovely story by@bonclark moves my❤️! It’s about how a little girl addresses her negative, anxious thoughts. 🎈#socialemotionallearning #mindfulness #sccrowd #escchat #parenting #educhat #schoollibrarians

@MauraLibrarian I love these and would love a copy of the posters as well as the template if it’s not too much trouble! I can’t seem to dm you. My email is aguilliot@mpcsd.org These are amazing!

Using a template shared by a librarian in Canva, I created these posters to amplify the voices & art of Black creators of some new books in our library. The’ve been up just 2 hours today and SO many Ss were excited, commenting, & asking for the books! Representation matters.

In honor of National Squirrel Appreciation Day, Super Squirrel visited @LaurelMPCSD classrooms to spread some joy! 🐿💙🐿

Today marks nine years since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Today, we remember the 20 children and six adults we lost. Today, we mourn the inaction and injustice their families have faced since. May we keep working to end such tragedies. cnn.com/2021/12/14/us/…

When you are kinder towards others you tend to treat and think of yourself in a kinder way too. These acts do not need to be big, but they will help you, and someone else, to feel better. What act of kindness have you received recently? How have you been kind? #WorldKindnessDay

Love seeing my squirrels get vaccinated! Go tomorrow if you haven’t already! 🎉

So excited @LaurelMPCSD is partnering with @trussleadership. Looking forward to our work together!

@Villacounselor @NISDKallison @NISDCounseling @NISDWholeChild Love this!

Our 4th graders are learning how to use effective communication to speak up for friends and themselves. Check out the cute megaphones that they created💖 #LeadTheCharge @NISDKallison @NISDCounseling @NISDWholeChild

Today is the first day of #HispanicHeritageMonth! As we celebrate, consider these resources for unpacking the term “Hispanic” and uplifting an intersectional representation of Latinx people in your teaching year-round. learningforjustice.org/the-moment/sep…

Reminder for educators. Make sure you make space for joy and community building now and all year long. Social emotional learning is not just during the 1st day/week of school. It’s needed continuously. Circles, story telling, value sharing, discussion, fun, games ARE the content.

Wrote staff an email and then decided I should have made it a graphic. Names matter. Share away.

As a new school year approaches, the mounting tasks can feel insurmountable. But every educator can take intentional steps toward more equitable practices in this new season of work. Here are some examples. learningforjustice.org/magazine/what-…
