September 2020

 

September has arrived recognizing the labor that educators do day in and day out regardless of whether it is a school day, holiday, or Labor Day.

This could not be more true as teachers, administrators, and school staff have come together to create the best possible distance learning protocol to serve the students they care so much about.

It has not been the best of circumstances under which to begin a school year, but all stakeholders in education are doing their best to adapt to new rules and regulations.

New challenges emerge almost on a daily basis regarding connectivity, access to technology, privacy, and high quality education that meets or exceeds state standards, all while also addressing the social issues currently taking place.

September also reminds us to acknowledge the contributions made by Latin American / Hispanic communities. Gracias!

September 2019

As we reach the end of September, MRCR Education takes a look back at what this month has been like.

To start, Labor Day.  A day in which we reflect on the importance of the labor educators do.  From meeting over the summer to get classrooms ready and gathering the necessary supplies to begin the year, to writing and revising lesson plans so they are up to date, to welcoming colleagues and students both former and new, educators have been laboring long and hard to ensure that we can provide the best education possible and make it available to all.

Halfway through September began the Latin American/Hispanic Heritage Month celebration where we acknowledge and recognize the contributions made by the peoples and cultures from the southern most points in Chile and Argentina, to the mountainous terrains of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru, the volcanic backbone of the Central American Isthmus, the Caribbean islands of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic, and all the current and historic regions of the former Mexican Empire.

Finally, we officially say goodbye to Summer and welcome Fall with its "Autumn Wind" just as baseball enters its Fall Classic and Football's gridiron returns.
