The National Education Association (NEA) kicked off American Education Week this morning at @barrettaps.bsky.social, serving school lunch, reading to students, and leading a hands-on cooking activity.

In addition, the NEA donated $5,000 to Barrett, and APS received a $10,000 donation.
NEA President Becky Pringle reads a book to a group of young children seated on a colorful classroom rug. Individuals serve food in a school cafeteria with children waiting in line, featuring a selection of fresh fruits and a modern kitchen setup in the background. Four individuals stand together smiling, holding a large ceremonial check from the National Education Association to Barrett Elementary. They are at a "Celebrate American Education Week" event, with related informational banners in the background.
