What a great day at EmpowerED 2026!

Thank you to all of the educators, presenters, and school leaders who joined us at Dakota Wesleyan University for a day focused on practical strategies, innovative teaching ideas, AI for educators, collaboration, and connection. We loved seeing educators learning from one another, sharing ideas, and leaving energized for the year ahead.

A special thank you to our presenters for sharing their time, knowledge, and experience with fellow educators. Your willingness to support and encourage others is what makes events like this meaningful.

We are already looking forward to EmpowerED 2027 on May 26, 2027!

It was Eyebomb Day! With our 4th grade reading buddies, we explored fun figurative language like alliteration, hyperboles, personification, idioms, similes, metaphors, and onomatopoeia. Take a look around campus and see if you can spot our eyebombs! 👀
