A word from our Executive director
Dear MCIU Staff,
We are excited to celebrate American Education Week from November 15-19, 2021! Established a century ago, this national weeklong event presents an opportunity to celebrate public education and show appreciation for the men and women who have devoted their careers to making a difference in students’ lives every day.
This year, American Education Week is more important than ever, as educators and support professionals work tirelessly to keep learning on track amid a global pandemic. Please know, your efforts to provide the very best to our students, families, and community members do not go unnoticed. As we nationally celebrate education, we thank and honor the MCIU Team of classroom teachers, administrative staff, support staff, and countless others who work tirelessly to enrich and inspire student lives every day!
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!!
With appreciation and gratitude,
Regina
