Public Schools Week (Feb. 24-28) is just around the corner, and there’s no easier way to join the celebration than by using the ready-to-go toolkit from the Learning First Alliance, of which NSPRA is a member. Inside, you’ll find social media graphics, sample messaging and other helpful resources to showcase the value of public education in your community.

Each year, Public Schools Week brings together educators, district leaders, parents and advocates nationwide to highlight the strength and promise of our public schools. Need inspiration? Take a look at last year’s award-winning Public Schools Week video series from Carroll Community (Iowa) Schools/Donovan Group and social media highlights from Waterloo Community (Iowa) Schools.

Start planning today and make sure your district is part of the celebration.

Below, hear from 2024 NSPRA School Communicator of the Year Dirk Tedmon, APR, on this year's Public Schools Week theme, "Engaging Communities, Engaging Schools."
