What's a "Summer Vacation"?

Top 7 newsletter header

Dear Educators and Champions of Education,

We recently asked our Milken Educator Network to tell us how they're spending their summer vacation this year. The response was overwhelming, but we couldn't be happier! We weren't surprised to learn that educators—from classroom teachers to district superintendents—are spending their time prepping for fall, but we were impressed at how many different inspiring, exciting and vital ways they're doing it. Evidently, teachers have a different definition of "vacation" than most people.

We analyzed and compiled the results into a new Connections article called "Top 7 Ways Educators are Spending their Summer Vacation" and quoted as many educators as could fit!

In fact, there were so many great quotes that we broke it up into a separate article, and still couldn't fit them all.

Whether you're a Milken Educator, an unsung classroom hero or a believer in the importance of great teachers for our nation's youth, please join us on Facebook and Twitter and "share" this message with your friends and colleagues. Help us let the world know that teaching is a year-round profession.

Thanks again for helping and inspiring us at Milken Educator Awards. We hope you're having a truly fantastic summer—however you've chosen to spend it.

Yours truly,

Boris Kievsky
