Dear Educators,


We hope your first weeks of the school year have been wonderful and that you are settling into a great year ahead! As we move into September, we are excited to continue supporting you with engaging resources, professional learning opportunities, and classroom content designed to inspire curiosity and meaningful learning.


This month, we’re highlighting timely topics and resources that connect students to history, civics, science, and the changing seasons. From recognizing the 25th anniversary of September 11 and celebrating Constitution Day to exploring the science behind fall and changing seasons, there is something for learners across grade levels.


Be sure to keep an eye out for the many exciting educator sessions and professional learning opportunities planned throughout the school year. Thank you for all you do to inspire, encourage, and make a difference in the lives of your students. We look forward to learning and growing alongside you!


With appreciation,


The KLRN Education Team
