We invite you to help us identify the educators whose stories should be told. Nominate a colleague, or yourself, for The Passions Project 2026!
Nomination form: https://tinyurl.com/mwwhbtvs
Your nomination ensures that the authentic voices and experiences of our staff are represented and celebrated. Together, these narratives will shine a light on the humanity, commitment and passion within our school community.
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.
Our students enjoyed a wonderful Read Aloud focused on literacy and diversity, featuring the book Who Has Hair Like Mine?
We were honored to have author Michelle Burch join us in person, while her daughter, illustrator Blanca Burch, joined virtually. Together, they shared the importance of literacy by reading a meaningful story that celebrated identity and diversity.
It was a memorable experience that sparked great conversations and learning for our students! 💛📖

💛 Watching families learn together was truly special. Parents practiced their English skills with their children across all four domains—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—and seeing them support each other was inspiring.
We wrapped up the session sharing hot chocolate and a conchita, which made the experience even sweeter. ☕️🍞
