It’s almost time to head back to school, and teachers in our community need more than just pencils and notebooks before that first bell rings. Ali talks with John Arthur, a 6th grade teacher at Meadowlark Elementary, about what educators and students really need to succeed this year.


Support John’s classroom or another community classroom on DonorsChoose or Clear the List, where there are 198 teacher wish lists from Utah. 


The Utah Legislature is in interim session! If you’d like to send an email to members of the Education Committee, here is the link.
