Thank you to our EPS Staff for working so hard during our Wednesday morning professional development. This past week was an incredibly informative presentation by our own, Mrs. Mansour, about mindfulness and regulating breathing. After teachers learned some new strategies to implement in their classrooms, we spent time setting team and individual goals.
