Public Schools Week, running from today through Friday, is a time to appreciate the role public education plays in shaping our children, communities, state and nation.
Public schools provide every child with the opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve their dreams—no matter their background or circumstances.
Teachers and school staff are at the heart of this mission. Their dedication ensures students receive the academic, social, and emotional support they need to succeed. Every day, their dedication creates new opportunities for learning.
Schools are the foundation of our communities and the key to our future. Strong schools depend on strong communities, and parental support is crucial in fostering student learning.
Across Minnesota as well as the country, students are exposed to academics, the arts, sports, and service. They are gaining skills to lead in a changing world.
As we celebrate Public Schools Week, let’s take a moment to reflect on how public education has shaped our lives and how we can keep Minnesota’s public schools thriving for future generations.
