Teacher Inspiration
Did you know that our kids have a chance to be involved in a Yoga for Girls program after school on Tuesdays, starting this week? In learning as much as I could about all things Field Park this summer, I did a bit of a fact-find on this program and it's FASCINATING! Take a few moments and watch this segment from WGN about Mission PropELLE to learn about their mission to bring self-empowerment to girls through yoga and storytelling, and you can't help but be inspired.
Staff are welcome and encouraged to swing by and do some yoga anytime (Tuesdays after school, through Thanksgiving) - and if anyone is interested, they do free teacher trainings!
