May is about YOU, Iowa educators! From May 3-31, 2022 enter the “Educator Wellness” giveaway to win hundreds of dollars of health and wellness prizes.

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we are applauding the amazing work educators do in supporting students’ mental health and well-being. Even more, we are using this month to megaphone the importance of educator well-being and how teachers and school systems can work together to co-create centers of wellness.

Four packages will be awarded, each of which includes products and services that align with the 8 Dimensions of Educator Wellness. These packages were made possible by our generous donors: Art of Tea, Therabody, Noom, and Scheels.
