Good morning educators,

Last week, the world watched in horror as tragedies unfolded in Israel and Palestine. We want to take a moment to acknowledge the victims on all sides. Nobody should suffer like that, especially children. Our hearts break every time another child is killed or orphaned.

We know how the news cycle works. For the next several weeks, headlines and soundbites will be filled with wall-to-wall negativity. It can take a toll, especially on our students' mental health. That's why it's more important than ever to find uplifting moments to celebrate. This week, we have carefully chosen five positive stories with warm-up activities and discussion questions to give balance and hope to students who may be struggling.
