Wyoming education needs your help. The state is facing a historic fiscal crisis. Without new streams of revenue to support education, Wyoming is already beginning to sacrifice where we simply cannot afford to sacrifice: our students. Tell lawmakers that we can't afford more cuts to education. Tell them it's time we spend a penny to save our future. Learn more about the Worth Every Penny initiative and, how you can help by lending your voice to supporting a one-penny sales tax for education. 

Recognize the heroes working in Wyoming education! Fill out this form, and we’ll send a personalized, handwritten Thank You card with your message to any Wyoming education employee. Does your child’s bus driver go above and beyond to make them feel welcome? Maybe you’re an educator whose colleague is pulling double-duty to help employees and students with in-person instruction through the COVID-19 pandemic. Or, maybe an Education Support Professional plays a special role in helping a class full of students learn and thrive. Education heroes work in every corner of Wyoming schools and buses, in classrooms and on college campuses. Recognize their dedication, hard work, and continued personal sacrifices during these difficult times. Share your appreciation and brighten an education employee’s day: Recognize a Wyoming education hero, today!
