#CRAEA #CareerExploration #iedchat
Central Rivers AEA's annual staff kickoff was a day full of energy and inspiration as our team came together to start another meaningful year. This year’s theme, “Leading with Heart,” gave staff a chance to reconnect with colleagues and renew their commitment to approaching their work ...with care and intention. 👏
Our keynote speaker, Tamara Lindholm (ESSDACK), encouraged us to focus on gratitude, possibilities, championing others and being fully present – reminding us that every choice shapes the legacy we leave. 💡🙌
We also took time to honor team members who have dedicated years of service, recognizing their meaningful contributions to our mission. As we enter this new school year, we’re united in our ultimate goal – improving student learning! 👏
