Dear Friends,


As the end of another school year approaches, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for your extraordinary dedication to your students. We are truly fortunate to have you as part of the MY HERO educational community.


We have prepared a special End of the School Year newsletter packed with valuable resources and captivating activities for end-of-school celebrations and summer enrichment programs. We strongly encourage you to share these resources with your students. By sharing these resources, you are providing your students with a platform to explore diverse perspectives, cultivate empathy, and find inspiration from the stories of real heroes who have overcome challenges and made a difference. These resources have been carefully crafted to ensure they are both educational and entertaining, creating a perfect balance between learning and enjoyment. 


There is still time to create a short hero themed film to enter into The MY HERO International Film Festival. The final deadline to submit work is Sept.1st and there is a fee waiver for all student work and great media arts education resources to help you get started.


All of us at MY HERO wish you a well-deserved and rejuvenating summer break filled with joy and relaxation.




Warm regards, 

The MY HERO Team
