YHS Educators Rising wrapped up their week at the MMU Expo and took time to thank the mentors who make their journey possible. What a great way to end the week!
💡 Educators Rising Week – Lightbulb Moments 💡
Today, our Educators Rising members are sharing their lightbulb moments, the experiences that helped them realize they want to pursue education or made teaching truly “click" for them.

Educators Rising Week!
Today, our members are sharing what they appreciate most about our chapter. Here are a few highlights:
💬 Eva P.
“My favorite activity as part of Educators Rising was the January Kindness Challenge. It was a valuable learning experience because it challenged me to plan an age-appropriate lesson focused on teaching the importance of kindness.”
💬 Owen E.
“One of the things I enjoy most about Educators Rising is coming together and hearing classmates share their experiences in classrooms, internships, and throughout their academic journey.”
This week, we celebrate Educators Rising Week and the students who are exploring the teaching profession, supporting classrooms, and discovering their impact as future educators. We’re grateful for their passion and commitment to our schools and community!
