Today we want to shine a spotlight on the extraordinary Special Educators who make a difference every single day. Your work goes far beyond lesson plans and IEPs. It’s rooted in patience, love, determination, and a belief in every learner’s unique strengths.

Thank you for your heart, your resilience, and your unwavering belief in your students. You inspire us and make our schools and communities better every single day.

We appreciate you more than words can say. #LEADLikeaGriffin

✨ Happy Substitute Education Day! ✨
Today we celebrate the incredible substitute educators who step in with flexibility, patience, and heart. You keep our classrooms running, support our students with kindness, and bring calm to the unexpected.

Thank you for showing up, adapting on the fly, and making a difference, often with only a moment’s notice. You are the steady hands and bright smiles that keep learning going.

Here’s to the heroes who turn the "backup plan" into something AMAZING! #LEADlikeaGriffin
