HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Community leaders from across Hutchinson joined USD 308 Thursday to become “educators for a day” during a special event celebrating American Education Week.
Twelve leaders from across Hutchinson toured USD 308 schools during the Educator for a Day event and gathered as a group at a special feedback luncheon where they were able to share their experiences with district leaders.
Educator for a Day is an opportunity for community leaders to experience the school day first-hand through the eyes of an educator. They are encouraged to participate in classroom activities and interact with students and staff at their assigned schools. Participants were invited to join in music, P.E., math, and even had the opportunity to read their favorite books to classes.
Educator for a Day is an annual event hosted by school districts around the country in celebration of American Education Week, which occurs the week before Thanksgiving each year. American Education Week has been celebrated since 1921 and serves as an opportunity for communities to engage, celebrate and collaborate with schools.
