Enrollment in U.S. Catholic elementary and secondary schools increased by 3.8% in 2021-22, according to data from the National Catholic Educational Association. This is the first time in 20 years that enrollment has increased and can be attributed to the leadership Catholic schools showed in returning to in-person learning a full year before many public schools. However, to ensure this growth is enduring, we must focus on what makes our schools unique, while removing barriers to accessibility. Despite a decades-long decline in Catholic schools and students, they remain critical to the broader ministry of the church. Do we still need Catholic schools? Absolutely. They are a proven way to help 21st-century children succeed. Here are few pics from my neighborhood school of Don Bosco: https://lnkd.in/eYvtdDVv P.S. BTW Did you know that one of my clients helped and built many structures at that school …😎😎😎

Juneteenth is a vital day in American history, commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. It's a time for celebration, reflection, and education, especially for our younger generations. But how can we approach these conversations with young children in a way that's both informative and age-appropriate? The early childhood education team at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture has created a fantastic resource guide to support young children's understanding and celebration of Juneteenth. This guide includes: Talking Tips: Practical advice on discussing slavery and freedom with children in a way that considers their age and development. Activities for Hope & Action: Engaging activities that inspire young minds to think about freedom, justice, and how they can contribute to a better future. Children's Book & Online Resource Recommendations: A curated list of books and websites that make learning about Juneteenth fun and informative. Empowering our children with knowledge and understanding is crucial for building a more just and equitable society. Let's celebrate Juneteenth together and inspire the next generation! Visit the NMAAHC website: nmaahc.si.edu/juneteenth to access these resources and start meaningful conversations with your children about Juneteenth. #Juneteenth #BlackHistory #EarlyChildhoodEducation #LearningThroughPlay #SocialJustice #EmpoweringKids #ColorBraveKids

Have you heard about service learning? It's an innovative educational approach where students take on classroom projects that make a real difference in their communities. In my book, “Middle School Sleuths,” eighth-graders at Madison Junior High School completely altered the lives of two 86-year-old Holocaust refugees. The students reunited the two best friends 72 years after their long-ago immigration journey. The two unaccompanied minors, who became inseparable on the ship from Nazi Germany to America, lost touch with each other in 1938. Through hard work, compassion, and determination, students helped these best friends find each other again in 2011. The two women were able to resume their friendship, giving each other comfort, love, and support during the last years of their lives. “Middle School Sleuths” not only tells the incredible story of this reunion, but it also showcases the power of service learning projects. By connecting classroom lessons with real-world applications, students learn invaluable life skills, empathy, and the importance of community. Dive into this heartwarming and inspiring story, and see how the actions of young minds can make a world of difference. Perfect for educators, students, and anyone who believes in the transformative potential of education. 📚✨ #ServiceLearning #Holocaust #HolocaustSurvivor #holocausteducation #holocausthistory #middleschool #historyteacher #middleschoolbooks #middleschool #middleschoolteacher #bookrecommendation #bibliophile #bookstagram

#September30 🧡 Today marks the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. We recognize the tragic legacy of residential schools, the missing children, the families left behind and the survivors of these institutions. Today, we invite you all to begin your learning journey by exploring the rich and diverse cultures, voices, experiences and histories of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.

Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation September 30 is Orange Shirt Day and is federally recognized as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is a legacy of the Saint Joseph Mission Residential School (1891-1981). Started in May of 2013, this project has grown nationwide and expanded to commemorate the residential school experience, to witness and honour the healing journey of residential school Survivors and their families, and to commit to the ongoing process of reconciliation. Students in schools across WSD are recognizing Indigenous culture and remembering residential school Survivors during the week leading up to September 30, 2023. While it can be a difficult process to remember a darker time in Canadian history, learning about that past can help build identity and meaning for students today. Indigenous students acquire a positive self-identity through learning their own histories, cultures and contemporary lifestyles. Non-Indigenous students develop an understanding and respect for the histories, cultures, and contemporary lifestyles of Indigenous peoples.
