April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, and the Rising Hope Academy team at SWITCH - Lakin Foundation Training Hub would like to spotlight one of their volunteers, Mrs. Lori Rew!
Lori is a retired teacher and joins the classroom each Friday to spend time with students individually, as they practice and strengthen their reading skills.
It's Week of the Young Child, and we’re celebrating the power of early support and the everyday moments that help children grow.
From mealtime conversations to playtime discoveries, the first years of life are filled with important milestones. Research shows that brain development is most influenced in the first three years, making early support especially meaningful.
At Green Hills AEA, our Early ACCESS and Early Childhood teams partner with families, caregivers, teachers, and school districts to provide guidance, resources, and support that help young children thrive.
By building skills into daily routines and working together to support each child’s unique development, we help create strong foundations for lifelong learning.
If you have concerns about a child’s development, don’t wait! Early support can make a lasting difference!
There’s still time to nominate an incredible teacher for the 2026 Charles E. Lakin Outstanding Teacher Awards – but not for long!
If you know an educator who goes above and beyond to inspire students and make a difference, now is the time to recognize them! Each winner will receive $10,000, with an additional $2,500 awarded to their school.
Nominations close March 31.
