Good Morning, SMSD! Join us in celebrating World Teachers’ Day – taking a moment to thank educators for all they do. #KeepingSMSDStrong #StickTogether

We encourage the SMSD community to tune in Thurs. 10/7 at 7 pm to the @shawmissionpost candidate forum. All candidates for the SMSD Board of Ed are invited to participate. Watch online or attend in-person at SM South High School. fb.me/e/js9m1lnNX

We have spent many hours at school board meetings, but we’ve never feared for anyone’s safety…until now. We encourage our community to stand up against harassment toward school board members, & hope any candidates running for these seats condemn this behavior strongly & publicly

Did you know the National School Lunch Program serves nearly 30 million children every school day? Join us in celebrating #NSLW21 Oct. 11–15 to highlight school lunch & the critical role school nutrition professionals play in helping students succeed in & out of the classroom.

Join us this week as we recognize and thank our food service teams. National School Lunch Week is observed the second full week of October. SMSD Food Service Director Grace Liss exclaims, “They are our biggest blessing.” #KeepingSMSDStrong Read more: smsd.org/about/news-arc…

Fatigue? Yes, we are EXHAUSTED from years of fighting for our public schools. Unfortunately, with legislators like this, we don’t get a lot of rest.

1/ Are you going to let a national PAC buy your school board? Please support the following candidates who are being challenged by those endorsed by the 1776 Project PAC.

We've said it before, and we'll say it again...we are so grateful for excellent local reporting from the @shawmissionpost! This in-depth piece is a must-read for anyone who cares about our local public schools!

Critical Race Theory #CRT is NOT taught in SM School District and if someone is telling you that it is, they are being untruthful. Retweet if you want school board members who support diversity, equity and inclusion AND who understand the difference between fact and propaganda. #DEI

Wow. Just attended school BOE mtg open forum. And to no one's surprise, the trifecta of complaints were lodged. CRT, book banning/LGBTQIA, and COVID/masks. All threatening to sue the school district. All overshadowing teachers Arrowhead Day School who will miss their beloved principal.

Much smaller crowd SM School District school board meeting. No anti-maskers so far...

Very calm and respectful SM School District board meeting. Parents and teachers alike spoke up in support of DEI, gender and sexual harassment discrimination policies and overall how to be a kind and welcoming part of our community.

We just shared our endorsement list for #ksleg over on our FB page. Just follow the link: facebook.com/educationfirst…
