This week's teacher tip comes from Kayla Smith who is a 3rd-grade teacher at Olsen Park! Her advice is "When you feel stressed or overwhelmed, take some time for yourself. The work will be there the next day. When you feel your best, you are able to give 100% for your students".
Congratulations to our new initiates!

How long have you been a KDP member and why did you join KDP?
I joined KDP one year ago because I wanted to be part of a supportive community where I could make lasting friendships, develop leadership skills, and contribute to meaningful causes. I was excited about the social events and networking opportunities it offered and I'm glad to be a part of this community!

Favorite thing about being part of KDP
My favorite thing about being a part of KDP is getting to do it with my best friend!
