During the remote day, teachers participated in professional development together, discussing how to use AI in the classroom and how to better build leadership and community in the school. They then enjoyed lunch and a gear sale especially for them! A huge thanks to the PTSO for hosting the sale and providing lunch from Butcher's Daughter and dessert from Flat River Cafe!
