This week, we proudly celebrate National Public Schools Week and the incredible educators who show up for students every single day.

Thank you to our teachers, staff, and school leaders for their passion, dedication, and unwavering commitment to our students. Our public schools are so much more than places of learning—they are spaces where community is built, support is shared, and students are inspired to grow into their very best selves.

As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminds us, educators have the power to positively influence, impact, and inspire—today and every day. ❤️🤍🖤 #PublicSchoolProud #NationalPublicSchoolsWeek #BuildingStrongerTogether #theCavalierdifference
