In October, the Fall season brings cooler temperatures (for many) and often the craving for all things apple and pumpkin spiced. This month, we continue our celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month and well as recognize National Substance Abuse Prevention Month. Resources on both topics are provided below for you to use and share with colleagues. Finally, as we approach the holiday season, we hope you embrace and nurture the #WeAreConnected mindset in your classrooms and throughout your school communities.
Happy reading!
