At our Friday in-service, Principal Edwards made sure our teachers and staff felt supported, valued, and ready to take on the new school year. We had a meaningful discussion about teacher mental health and burnout and learned simple chair yoga techniques that we can use throughout the day to pause, recenter, and focus on our own well-being. A special thank you to the Daniel Education Group and Ms. Tanesha Craig for spending time with us and providing such a meaningful and engaging session! Our teachers are truly the best, and we are excited, refreshed, and ready for a great school year! 💛🖤
