Families, educators, school leaders, and public education advocates across the country are joining forces to celebrate public schools, from February 27 – March 3. This week is designated to highlight and show support for our local public schools.
Public Schools Week 2023 (#PSW23) is part of a larger campaign—#HerefortheKids—one that brings together families, educators, and community members to shine a light on local public schools and share the stories of the positive things happening in classrooms and school buildings nationwide. The teaching and learning in our local K-12 public schools positively impact students and families, the neighborhoods, and communities we live in, and our nation as a whole. With commitment, creativity, and critical thinking, educators and school leaders continue to provide welcoming and engaging learning opportunities for our children.
“Public Schools Week provides a much-needed opportunity to showcase success stories and public-school champions—those who have gone above and beyond to meet students’ social, emotional, and academic needs—particularly in these extraordinary times and circumstances,” said Richard Long, executive director of the Learning First Alliance.
Public Schools Week is a continuation of celebrating the great things happening across Hempstead ISD. You can help us celebrate Public Schools Week by sharing photos and stories with us on social media by using our District hashtag #HigherHeights.
