Dear Morningside Center friends,

Many of us have come to appreciate the importance of self-care this past year - for both our students and ourselves.

This Thursday May 13, from 4-5 pm, we'll be sharing self-care strategies educators can build into our schedules as we close out this year and start a new one. Join our senior staff developer Victoria Cheng-Gorini for this interactive session. Seats are limited - but there's still time to register!

From the Blog

40-year history. But we are here to tell the tale – and in fact, we are hopeful and excited about where we are and where we are headed.
