Looking for something uplifting this morning? Look no further than the lifesaving efforts of 5 teachers in the library of the Yorkville Community School who recently jumped into action to help Olivia McAndrew, a preschool teacher, after she went into cardiac arrest.

Big win for students, educators, and democracy: The Freedom to Read Act passed both the Assembly and Senate! 📚💪 Thank you to sponsors of this bill Tony Simone and Senator Rachel May (RachelMayNY.bsky.social)! In New York, we trust teachers and librarians—not book banners.

To every NY educator retiring this year: Thank you. You showed up, stood strong, and shaped generations—not just in classrooms, but on picket lines, in school board meetings, and at the Capitol. You changed lives—and activists never retire ❤️ NYSUT

This week is going to be HOT and extreme temperatures are dangerous for our students and educators. That’s why we successfully fought for a new law requiring school districts and BOCES to develop policies by Sept. 1 to protect students and staff. nysut.org/news/2024/dece…
