The Arts: Essential
to Education
National Arts Education Week
is in September, but the arts'
transformative powers can be
celebrated yearlong. In addition
to teaching the arts, let leaders
and decision-makers know
the need to support equitable
arts access for students of all
backgrounds. Learn more at

International Day of Peace SEPT. 21
The International Day of Peace ("Peace Day ") is observed around the world
each year on Sept. 21. Established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution,
Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to peace
above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace. Look
for Peace Day activities in your own community and around the world at
internationaldayofpeace.org/get-involved.
Teach the Labor Movement
Labor Day come and gone? NP! Lessons about workers rights and labor unions
are more important than ever — issues such as fair wages and safe working
conditions are ongoing battles — and are relevant all year long. Unions have
made possible many employee benefits, including the 40-hour workweek, paid
time off, sick leave and workplace safety, and continue to fight. Find resources at
pbslearningmedia.org, zinnedproject.org and learningforjustice.org.
Your union has advocated for educators' (and students') rights since our
founding in 1863 — years before the Labor Day holiday was established in 1894.
