It is National Poetry Month.
It is when Jackie Robinson is honored for breaking through the greatest human barrier of diversity and integrating the national pastime of baseball on Jackie Robinson Day.
It is when one of the most inhumane acts committed in the 20th century is recognized as Holocaust Remembrance Day is honored.
It is the marker in time where education takes its final points of pivot before setting off toward the accomplishment of Graduation.
The final break of Spring is over. It is time to sprint toward the end of school. Less than 3 months remain in the school year. Less than 12 weeks of school left. Less and less time remains left in which progress can be made and assessed; but time, nonetheless, remains. Educators can still advocate for struggling students. Students can still request help from teachers. Teachers can still guide students and collaborate with educators.
April should serve as the month in which students, teachers, parents, educators, and advocates come together for that one last pitch in support of education for future generations.
