you are a classroom champion! celebrate that today!

“Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.” Rita Pierson 

We know that being an educator is more than just a career choice!  

Not only do you teach math and reading but you write notes to the tooth fairy when a tooth is lost at school, you are a listening ear as a student mourns over their first break up, and you are a cheerleader for your students when they accomplish a new skill.

You are molding the future!

While that's an important role worth celebrating, we also know that the day-to-day classroom experiences are not always positive: communicating with passionate parents, keeping up with making lesson plans, helping kids overcome hurdles to learning, and dealing with all kinds of illnesses.  

You are a classroom champion!

Champions are people who never.stop.trying.

They are always looking for new ways to influence and support others while taking care of themselves.

When times get tough, it is important to reflect on how you can maintain a positive perspective in order to be there for both your students and yourself. 

So, take this moment to reflect on what makes you a classroom champion. Ask yourself:

• How have I motivated one or more students?
• How have I been a classroom champion?
• How has a coworker been a classroom champion?
