💭Sometimes, the best teachers are just big kids at heart. When we laugh, play, and learn together, we remember that teaching is as much about connection as it is about education.💙 👉🏼While the nation was voting, our teachers were busy learning, growing, and having fun on Election Day! From team-building challenges to an epic egg drop, we turned professional development into a day full of energy and collaborative competition! It was a blast, proving that learning is always more fun when you’re doing it together!🎉 👏🏼 🔥 A huge THANK YOU to the Cleveland Fire Department for making our grand finale, egg drop challenge, UNFORGETTABLE! 🥚🚒🍪We also want to extend our gratitude to Food City for generously donating the fuel (and delicious food!) that kept our teachers energized throughout the day. 🍎☕ 👍🏼All of this was made possible by the detailed planning of the CMS admin team! Thank you for venturing outside the box and making today, A GREAT DAY TO BE A RAIDER! 💙❤️ #ClevelandFireDepartment #FoodCity #CommunitySupport #TeamRaiders
