We have seen incredible progress in every area this year. From strong instruction to meaningful engagement, our teachers continue to nurture growth, reflect on their practice, and bring our BDS Vision for Instruction to life.
Here's where it gets exciting: our teachers have been earning seeds so consistently that we've actually run out of packets! We're working quickly to restock our supply because the momentum and growth we're seeing show no signs of slowing down. These are the last four packets before the restock! (WHOO!)
As we move into the second semester, the energy and dedication our teachers bring to their classrooms every day continue to inspire us. The progress is visible, the growth is undeniable, and we can't wait to see what the rest of this year brings. Keep up the outstanding work!

2026 is here! Check out what's happening in January
