We know there are many different things to think about when it comes to education. This year we changed up our directory to include preschool, childcare, private school, and tutoring. Check out all the options in this issue and on our website all year long! 

It’s time for those Egg Hunts! Visit our Online Calendar to see all the events happening for Easter. And if you are an organization that is hosting an event, you can add it there as well! 

As I watched the nominations for our 2022 Educator of the Year come in, I was delighted to see nominees who work in various roles inside our schools. Surprising our 2022 Educator of the Year, Marissa Whipple, was exciting! It was fun seeing her family, the mother and daughter who nominated her, and the school administrators be there for that moment!  Sanford fit partnered with us to provide her with a great prize package: a check for $250 and $500 worth of Cozy Spot Items for her classroom. The students loved getting to open and interact with those. Make sure to read her nomination, along with all of our other educator nominees, at www.thehoodmagazine.com. 

Congratulations to Marissa and all our 2022 Educator the Year Nominations!
