Dear Educator: The End of March Is Here

You made it through another month—and not just any month. March is full of shifting seasons, rising expectations, and the slow-but-sure countdown to the end of the school year. And yet, here you are: still showing up, still giving your best, still standing in the gap for your students.

Take a breath.

Take a bow.

Take a moment to be proud of yourself.

Because what you’ve done this month matters.

The lessons you taught.

The patience you gave.

The encouragement you whispered to a student who needed it.

The times you chose grace over frustration, even when you were tired.

It all counts.

As March winds down, let this be your reminder: growth is happening. In your classroom, in your students, and yes—in you, too.

So as April approaches, walk in with the confidence of someone who has already overcome so much. Keep your heart open, your routines strong, and your eyes on the impact you’re making every single day.

You’re doing holy, hard, and beautiful work.

Finish March strong—and walk boldly into what’s next.

You’ve got this.
