Dear NESTA Members,

In the weeks ahead, we all will gather to celebrate Thanksgiving; I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you. Your dedication to ensuring we have a future with informed and compassionate citizens that value stewardship of Earth inspires not only your students but also our entire community.

This year, as we take on new challenges, I am reminded of the power of resilience and unity. Our strength lies in our shared commitment to common goals. Together, we continue to build a strong and vibrant community that nurtures student curiosity, encouraging them to explore, reason, and explain phenomena through valid scientific practices.

May this season be a time of renewal and hope for each of you. Let us carry forward the spirit of gratitude and the confidence that, together, we can overcome any obstacle. Your work is invaluable, and your presence in this community is deeply appreciated. Wishing you and your loved ones a warm and joyful Thanksgiving!

With gratitude,

Natalie Macke President, NESTA
