Great day of I Am Moving I Am Learning for the Early Ed staff today! Thank you all for your participation and willingness to make music and movement an important part of Early Education!!
Even as snow covered our campus and the halls were quiet, the learning never stopped. I am incredibly proud of our dedicated staff who braved the cold to engage in meaningful professional development. Your commitment to growth—especially in challenging conditions—speaks volumes about your dedication to our students.
I am also deeply grateful to the teams who put in so much time, thought, and effort to develop and present the training. Your leadership and collaboration made this experience impactful and worthwhile. Thank you all for showing that learning continues, no matter the weather.
