Since the beginning of August, I have visited scores of public schools in 20 states and territories, 40-50 schools in 30 different localities. @rweingarten
And I'm saying that because from Petaluma to Puerto Rico, the joy students and staff feel to be back in school, in-person, is palpable. @rweingarten
I've been in 20 states, 40 schools since Aug 1. Every place I'm in you see it in educator's and bus driver's eyes: the joy of being back. - @rweingarten#FEADA21@FloridaEA
Part of being here for as long as I've been here... is that when @FloridaEA came together, it was a pivotal moment for the union. - @rweingarten#FEADA21

Last week, we lost @EdinburghAFT member Rosa Pacheco to Covid after 35 years on the job. Today, we visited her students @SanCarlosElms to honor her, and all the lives lost during the pandemic.
With the help of @FirstBook we donated 250 books, backpacks, and masks to her school.
As part of #Back2School, we visited @PSJA_LBJ_MS where we donated another 250 books. Students are so excited to be in the classroom and it shows! Thank you to @drjlarredondo and all of the @PSJAISD community for welcoming us with open arms.
