As the holiday season arrives, we at the Northwest Council for Computer Education (NCCE) want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt greetings and warmest wishes to all the incredible educators out there. This is a time to celebrate, reflect, and enjoy the company of friends and family. But most importantly, it’s a well-deserved opportunity for all of you — our dedicated teachers, staff, and educational leaders — to relax, recharge, and reflect on your tremendous impact.
We know that, for most educators, the work doesn’t stop when the final bell rings. There are always lessons to prepare, projects to review, and new strategies to explore. You devote countless hours, unflagging energy, and boundless passion to making your classrooms welcoming spaces of learning and inspiration. While the holiday season is often filled with activities, we hope you take this break as an opportunity to unwind and enjoy some time for yourselves. You’ve more than earned it!
A Special Thanks to Our Educators and Partners
NCCE’s mission has always been focused on empowering educators to bring innovative, effective, and engaging learning experiences to their students. This vision would not be possible without the tireless efforts of so many people — teachers, librarians, IT staff, administrators, and beyond — who strive every day to make a difference in the lives of young learners. We see and appreciate the incredible work that you do. Your commitment and passion drive many meaningful changes and improvements in education. For that, we are deeply grateful.
Gratitude for Our Professional Learning Specialists
We express special thanks to our NCCE Professional Learning Specialists. Your expertise, dedication, and enthusiasm have been instrumental in transforming professional development for educators. Whether delivering workshops, leading webinars, or supporting schools with customized training, your contributions have ensured that teachers have the tools and support to bring dynamic learning to their students. You are indeed the heartbeat of NCCE’s mission, and we are proud to have such a talented team that brings so much value to the communities we serve.
Celebrating Together and Looking Ahead
As we celebrate this season, we want to recognize the strength and resilience you have shown, not just this year but every year. An educator’s journey is not always easy, but it is undeniably impactful. With each lesson taught and each student inspired, you are shaping the future and fostering a love of learning that will last a lifetime.
So, all of us at NCCE wish you a joyful and restful holiday. May your days be filled with laughter, peace, and the season’s simple joys. As we look forward to the coming year, we are excited to continue partnering with you to create enriching learning experiences that ignite curiosity and empower students to thrive.
So Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to you all. We look forward to seeing you this February in Seattle at NCCE 25!
