Program Description: |
The formation for the already formed group offers continued personal support and interaction for faculty beyond their first five years. We meet once or twice a year for lunch to rekindle old connections, and catch up with our peer group. Meetings are for years 5 – 10, 10 – 15 etc |
|
Rationale: |
Teachers are busy people and rarely make time for themselves and their professional relationships during the school day. The connection with peers that began in a school at the same time as us is unique. This is an opportunity to celebrate commitment to mission, friendship, longevity and reminisce |
