Gerry Brooks at Rio? YEP!!
We are very excited that the ONE and ONLY GERRY BROOKS will be speaking at Rio Norte for a virtual presentation on March 17 during our Faculty/PD meeting. Thomas and I heard him speak a few weeks ago and he was very inspiring. I'm still inspired, comforted, and challenged by his talk.
His talk focused on being a better co-worker, teacher, leader, and human being. He's wise, delightful, and funny!
We are looking forward to being challenged and inspired to be our best selves!
In Gratitude for your service to our students and each other,
Audrey ♥️
