A new school year is starting following what was meant to be a comeback year for America\u2019s schools \u2014 a return to classrooms and rebuilding of communities after months of remote or hybrid learning, disconnection, and uncertainty.<\/p>\n

And for many schools, it was, at least for a while. Schools fully reopened. Vaccines were available for teens and would soon be for children over 5. Districts mapped out how to spend an unprecedented amount of\u00a0COVID relief money<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the buildings that swung wide their doors to students in the fall of 2021 were changed schools<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 as were the students and educators that fill them.<\/p>\n

Join New Memphis, Chalkbeat Tennessee, and Spillit for an evening of stories from students and educators that speak to the theme, \u201cThe Comeback<\/a>.\u201d New Memphis will also announce its new class of Educators of Excellence. Special thanks to our editorial partner for this event,\u00a0The Daily Memphian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Doors open at 6 p.m., and light refreshments and drinks will be provided. This event is free to attend, but RSVP so we know you are coming. We hope you come celebrate the start of a new school year with us by listening to these powerful stories.<\/p>\n
