Support CCS

You may have noticed we missed a few important observances in May—most notably Teacher Appreciation Week, but also National School Nurse Day and Mother's Day.

We noticed too.

Support CCS is entirely volunteer-led. Many of those volunteers are parents, and many are moms who spend countless hours supporting students, schools, teachers, and our community.

So while our social media was a little quieter, our volunteers were busy doing the work. They were helping organize teacher appreciation events, supporting school staff, volunteering in classrooms, attending school activities, and spending time with their own families—the very people and institutions that inspire our mission.

Would it have been nice to post about Teacher Appreciation Week on time? Absolutely. But Support CCS is about more than social media. It's about showing up.

And sometimes showing up in person means showing up a little less online.

To every teacher, nurse, staff member, parent, and volunteer who helps make our schools strong: thank you. We appreciate you, even when we're a little late saying it.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Public schools play an important role in helping students understand the meaning of service, sacrifice, and citizenship. In our classrooms, students learn the importance of remembering and respecting those who gave their lives protecting the freedoms we enjoy today. We also recognize the many graduates from public schools who go on to serve in our armed forces and communities with courage and dedication.

As we gather with family and friends this weekend, may we take time to reflect, remember, and express gratitude for the fallen heroes whose sacrifices will never be forgotten.
