Let's start the year with some Goodness! ✨

Your Monthly Dose of Goodness!

We're bringing back our Goodness emails ✨

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day yesterday, we were reminded of the powerful role educators play in shaping both minds and hearts.

As Dr. King said, “Intelligence plus character — that is the goal of true education.”

We hope this small reminder brings a moment of encouragement to your day.
