Stress can sneak up on us, but knowing the signs is the first step to taking care of yourself. 🌱 Pay attention to what your body, emotions, and behavior are telling you, and remember—it’s okay to prioritize your well-being. Let’s make self-care a habit, not an afterthought. 💙

Our Hispanic heritage highlight of the day goes out to Sylvia Méndez. Sylvia’s fight for educational equality paved the way for generations of students to receive the quality education they deserve. 📚✨

Emotional health is just as important as physical health! 🧠✨ Being in tune with your emotions helps you manage stress, build stronger relationships, and live a more balanced life. Remember to take care of all aspects of yourself—because you deserve it! 💛

I had a great time meeting with the Coalition for Community Schools Excellence yesterday. I believe that community schools are integral to learning—and they're a true embodiment of fostering safety and wellness, providing supports to teachers, and empowering parents.

Thank you Adrienne Adams, Justin Brannan, Rita C. Joseph, and New York City Council for recognizing the importance of community schools and including the need to restore $14M in your budget response. Investing in our students is investing in our future! #NYCCommunitySchools
