June 2, 2025

It’s June, which means the summer is so, so close! This is the part where I would typically say something about how the journal will also be going on vacation since schools starting to reach their summer break.

However, as we’ve previously demonstrated in previous summers, we don’t traditionally stick to that plan. Like many of you, things don’t always slow down for us just because it's the summer. The work doesn’t stop even though the classrooms are empty!

We’re always working here at Blackbaud, and the same rings true during the summertime. So, while there may be a week or two here with seemingly less activity, the schedule remains pretty busy, which, of course, is excellent news for all of you.

We have some exciting things to share with you, though I don’t want to spoil the surprise right now. Of course, we’ll still be publishing our weekly “What’s New” release update every Monday, and you can be sure that the Monthly Recap blogs will continue to arrive on time at the start of each new month.

Additionally, if you'd like to be proactive during this downtime and make your back-to-school season more manageable, check out these resources:

That’s our plan through the summer. I hope you continue to stop by during your much-deserved time off. Thank you to each and every one of you for stopping by and supporting the work we do here. Whether this is your first time at the journal or you’re someone who's here every week, we absolutely appreciate you and the feedback you provide.

Enjoy the break and the warmth! We’ll see you soon!
