With the December holidays upon us, we at AFSA would like to take a moment to wish you peace and joy, and to extend our profound thanks for your unwavering dedication to your students, parents, staff, and wider communities. Because of you, public education continues to thrive as a pillar of our society and a source of strength for our nation.

As the new year approaches, we naturally reflect on both the challenges we have faced and those still ahead. In times of transition and uncertainty, hope, loyalty, and solidarity become even more essential. Personally, it is inspiring to be part of a union whose members continually stand together to meet obstacles with resilience, unity, and a shared commitment to our mission and values.

During this special season, all of us at AFSA wish you and your families peace, joy and continued success in 2026.

We rejoice in you, and we look forward to seeing you in the new year.
