Pearl Jam,

At Saturday's (September 7) show at the Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia, there will be 2 former Pennsylvania Teachers of the Year in the audience. My wife, Marilyn, is the 2019 & 2020 Pennsylvania Teacher of the Year, and our friend, Mike, is the 2017 Pennsylvania Teach of the Year.

It would be great to give them and all teachers a shout out for the vital work they do as well as to remember the 2 teachers who were recently killed in Georgia. It is hard to imagine that our teachers have become frontline warriors as America navigates through this epidemic of gun violence, but CHEERS to those teachers who show up each and every day to do what they love and who change the lives of the children they are in front of.

Thank you for considering this. I loved the Sept. 3 show at MSG! Looking forward to both nights in Philly and to the 1st round in Boston at Fenway!

    Huge bump! Congrats to those teacher of the year’s!

    This teacher will start the drive from Atlanta tonight and finish tomorrow in time for the show.

    Thank you for mentioning what is happening in my state, and our country. It is very sad that it is something that is constantly on our minds now. 😞

    Another teacher in the house here for both Philly shows and Fenway 1. Can I make a request for “It’s Ok?” Much love and support to all the teachers out there!

    On a side note. 
    If you could avoid making msg shows the first days of school in the future it would be much appreciated. Getting home at 1 in the mornin and then going to teach class was not ideal!! Self inflicted wounds I know but come on guys!!
    much love to pj for two great nights and to all the other teachers that made it to class the next day. On to Philly !!
