We invite you to help us identify the educators whose stories should be told. Nominate a colleague, or yourself, for The Passions Project 2026!

Learn more about The Passions Movement at www.thepassionsmovement.com

THE PASSIONS PROJECT, spearheaded by Racine Educators United (and with support from the NEA CAPE Grant) is designed to uplift educator voices, celebrate the power of public education and help our community better understand the incredible work happening in our schools every day. Through this initiative, we hope to highlight the dedication, diversity and resilience that define Racine’s educators with a visual storytelling series that will feature 10 public school educators and the mentors who shaped them. Each story will be brought to life through professional portraits and video interviews.

Mrs. Redmer's middle school social studies class at Gilmore Fine Arts K-8 turned theory into practice when they opened a Paper Product Marketplace. 📃💌📈

As part of an economics lesson, the students became entrepreneurs by designing products, setting prices, creating storefronts and marketing their ideas while responding to supply and demand, incentives and consumer choice in real-time.

From squishy 6-7's to colorful jellyfish, creativity was on full display! #YouBelongHere
