Today's Guest Post is by Ellen Lewing, a winner of NWPE's grant program.
The students at Whitworth Elementary are extremely grateful to NWPE for choosing Ellen Lewing to be a recipient of a fall 2021 Classroom Grant. The project was called “Drumming across the World.” With the help of Northwest Professional Educators, the school purchased fourteen African djembe drums, maracas, and a “World Music Drumming Ensemble & Song” curriculum guide.

Self-care is a touchy topic for educators. We all verbally acknowledge its importance. We know that step one in caring for our students is caring for ourselves. Yet, when push comes to shove and we’re deep in the trenches by September or October, it just doesn’t seem to be that much of a priority. Educators in all settings are encouraged to give of themselves, and there’s just not that much support when it comes to caring for yourself. Soon enough, an educator can realize that they’re running themselves ragged and working to the point of exhaustion.

No matter the age or grade, getting students to actually attend classes is one of the most challenging struggles a school will face. According to Attendance Works, more than 8 million students were chronically absent in the 2015-2016 school year. These absences can lead to lower test scores, a higher rate of failing a grade, and a higher rate of dropping out of school.
