Coffee Chats

 Plan ahead to join fellow teachers for a 30-40 minute 'coffee break' via Zoom most months during the school year!   Each morning chat session will be hosted by a volunteer member who will decide on the date, time, and choice of either a topic or unstructured social time.   Interested members will email the host requesting a link for that month. Our first session is planned for January 2026! This should be a fun way to see our members across our state!  Updated details for each coming month will be shared via email.in "News and Notes."
