Asking for help - May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we're spotlighting one of the most powerful coping skills out there: asking for help.

💪Reaching out isn't a weakness. It's one of the bravest things you can do, and it's a sign that you believe you deserve better- because you do.
🗣Talk to a parent, coach, teacher, or another adult you trust. And know that 988 (call or text) is always there as a tool for crisis or support.

Today might be April Fool’s Day, but this is no joke: Oklahoma educators show up every day with dedication, creativity and compassion for their students. The work happening in classrooms across our state is real and worth celebrating.

To our educators across the state, THANK YOU for all you do to support Oklahoma students. To everyone else reading this post, tag an educator who makes a difference every day in your school and give them a word of encouragement.
