As we move into the holiday season, GAEA wants to take a moment to thank you for everything you do for students, families, and one another. This time of year can be joyful—and also exhausting—especially after a demanding first half of the school year.
We hope the upcoming break provides space for rest, connection, and moments that refill your cup. Whether you’re spending time with loved ones, catching up on sleep, or simply enjoying a quieter pace, you deserve it.
Please remember: your well-being matters. GAEA remains here to support you—now and in the year ahead—as we continue advocating for safe working conditions, fair compensation, and respect for our profession.
Wishing you peace, health, and warmth this holiday season.
We look forward to continuing this work together in the new year.
In solidarity,
Greater Albany Education Association
