Federation of Nurses/UFT members celebrated in person on May 17 for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began, honoring their work and their profession as they recognized 20 nurses for their advocacy, leadership and service.

Nearly 350 school staff, administrators, community members and local elected officials celebrated at District 11's fourth UFT Scholarship Dinner Dance on May 6 at Villa Barone Manor in the Bronx.

Heroes, change agents, fierce organizers, advocates, motivators, troubleshooters, trusted advisers and leaders. These are some of the words used to describe the educators, unionists and unified school communities honored at the UFT’s 2022 Academic High Schools Awards Celebration. 

UFT members and their families who participated in the the the union's eighth annual 5K family run/walk on May 14 raised more than $5,000 for the UFT Disaster Relief Fund to benefit educators and their families in war-torn Ukraine.

The booths featuring the skills of the city’s career and technical education (CTE) high schools and programs were the highlight of the Spring Education Conference’s exhibit hall.

UFT President Michael Mulgrew says reducing class size and paperwork are the keys to moving the public schools forward.
