For the record - nobody NEEDS a national dessert day to HAVE dessert - but might as well use the day to your advantage.

🍰What's your favorite dessert? I'm not speaking for the whole crew over here, but it's cookies. And ice cream. Also brownies. Oh - and Candy. Thanks for asking!

Ready to help shape the future of our profession? Public education thrives when educators and ESPs lead the way.

Represent Olathe as a delegate for the Kansas National Education Association (KNEA) Representative Assembly! The RA is your chance to vote on the issues that directly impact our schools, set our union's direction, and have a real say in how your KNEA dues dollars are spent.

The KNEA RA typically has between 300 and 400 delegates statewide, and Olathe NEA is allotted 69 of those seats. Imagine the collective power we can wield if we show up with a full delegation! When we fill every single seat, we have the numbers to drive the conversation and make a massive impact for our students and our profession.
