TUESDAY TIMES
A resource for professional development and news for DuPage County Educators
Hello, and Happy Tuesday!

As we return to work after Memorial Day weekend, we can't help but reflect on and appreciate all the freedoms we have as Americans. As educators, we are especially grateful that all the children in our country--regardless of race, economic background, or skill level--have the opportunity to receive an education. It is a gift and a blessing--one that we do not take lightly.

We're also grateful we can provide learning opportunities and resources for you, the educators. Please take advantage of the news and links below, and pass them along to your peers as appropriate.
