☀ Summer spotlight! We want to give a shout out to IEA member Jim Matteucci. Jim decorates the inside of his bus with artwork drawn by students and inspirational magnets that tell students they are “stronger than you know” and to “never give up.”
“I want them to feel seen and heard. I don’t want them to just see this as a bus ride home. I want them to see it as an extension of the school and I want them to feel safe and proud to ride the bus.” - Jim Matteucci
Way to go, Jim! Thank you for all you do for your students.
