Teachers, our educator survey is live! We'd appreciate if you'd take a few minutes to fill it out. As a thank you we will randomly be selecting three survey-takers to receive a class visit (virtually or in person) from the NewsDepth team next season. 

In this week's episode, we learn about the new emperor in Japan and about a kissing bug that spreads more than cooties.

Plus, we go all out for Teacher Appreciation Week with lots of stories of teachers and school staff going the extra mile.
