Dear Educators,
Evan and I honor your hard work and dedication to your students throughout the 2017-2018 school year! We both know you faced many challenges and dealt with each one, always keeping your students at the center. You are the unsung heroes of our country, teaching new generations to read, write, think creatively, innovate, and problem solve. We want you to know the depth of our respect for your diligence, for the classroom communities you worked all year to build, and for the support you’ve offered each child! Now it’s time to take a deep breath, relax, and use your short break to care for your wellbeing and to continue to reflect and learn.
Evan and I believe that balance is the key to utilizing free time well. Some of you will take classes relating to your discipline, others already have stacks of professional books on night tables and desks for summer reading. All terrific goals! However, we both urge you to set aside time to read for pleasure, to do what you love—long walks, hiking, relaxing on a beach, catching up on missed movies, spending time with family and friends. Though teaching is one part of your life, it can be all-consuming during the year. So, yes, do continue to learn! But also reserve time to do what you love and find difficult to fit into your daily teaching schedule.

We wish you a joyful summer break!
Evan Robb and Laura Robb
