Description: "You cannot pour from an empty cup." As educators we often put ourselves "on the backburner" thinking that by putting our students first, we are doing what is best for them. What we don’t realize is that when we prioritize our selves, our students and colleagues stand to benefit. Join us as we explore the benefits of self care, igniting a renewal both personally and professionally. Exercise your passion, rediscover you joy, and reconnect with your peace! A happy teacher = a happy class!
