Different approach to be present at schools this year...During our October meeting we agreed to let our SEE mentees and active teachers know that we are still here to support them. We sent gift cards with the hope that they could either buy something for them or their classroom or for Principals to treat the staff on us!

The campus would like to thank Epsilon Kappa Educational Foundation for the gift card we sent in December! They used a portion of the gift card to provide hot cocoa, cider and tea for their staff on a cold December morning! |
