Educator Support Collaborative

Check out Mary Anne Winterling ES’ teacher lounge makeover and the amazing mural these BDS students are creating for our teachers! Can’t wait to see the final product… our teachers deserve a retreat space to welcome them in.

Atmosphere was electric at the Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts celebration of its new Educator Wellness Lounge on June 5th! Truly a model collaboration of teachers, designers, partners and City Schools joining together to create a sanctuary for our Educators!! Congratulations to Principal Carnes, Community Schools Coordinator Corey Fraction, designers Danielle Nekimken and Jerome Gray, teachers, students and partners including Joseph H Brown Jr. Funeral Home, BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company), Positive Schools Center, Sherwin-Williams, and Maryland Center for History and Culture for joining together to create this beautiful retreat for AFSIVA teachers and staff!

Raymond Bennet, a teacher at AFS, reflects on the importance of teacher wellness: “Too often teachers are underappreciated, undervalued and the work that they do inside and outside of the classroom goes unnoticed. I would like to thank the Educator Support Collaborative for thinking about us and providing us with a space that will help us to rejuvenate, reflect and just to chill and tackle our daily duties as teachers.”

This marks the end of our pilot Educator Wellness Lounge Makeover Project! Want to join us? Learn more about Educator Support Collaborative at www.educatorsupportcollaborative.org

Thank you, Ms. Warren, for being a teacher leader for the Educator Wellness Lounge Makeover and for all that you do for your students!
