Principals’ Breakfast Vacation

featuring Zinn Education Project’s Cierra Kaler-Jones

Take a break, enjoy a full breakfast, chat with your peers, walk in our lovely garden, join us for prayers at 7 am if you like.

This day is meant simply to be a time of respite and inspiration for you — a time to show how much we appreciate everything you do for our children all year long. Under the most challenging circumstances, you prevailed! Take a moment to exhale. Our hope is that you will return to your school community renewed and refreshed.
