This summer keeps moving forward. What have you done this summer to recharge? Any fun suggestions?

ieaesp

To all the educators out there, congratulations on finishing a busy school year. To those who assisted and supported students during summer school, thank you!, To those who have worked all summer prepping and preparing our buildings for students and staff to return, thank you!. Educators dedicate themselves to the safety and nurturing development of their students or staff, As the school year quickly approaches, I hope you are taking some time to focus on your own well-being.

What are some of the ways you have been recharging and renewing yourself this summer?

For me, I love to spend time with my family. I love to garden, and I have my own little bit of heaven right next to my back patio, my goldfish pond. Picture above.
