Minnesota named their 2025 Teacher of the Year (Linda Wallenberg) this afternoon, and I was excited to be there with a couple of my colleagues to celebrate. I was honored to sit with them & I could not be more proud to call them friends and help acknowledge their successes. #MNToY

With that said, it does feel pretty good to be acknowledged as making a difference, especially during a time when many teachers have felt undervalued and criticized, both locally and nationally.
