Surviving the Ides of March

Join us for a time of fellowship, support, solidarity, or whatever you prefer to call it – a time to hold one another up when we can, and lean on one another if we need.
Saturday, March 15th, Western PA Writing Project participants will gather to help one another “survive the Ides of March.” Mid-March can be a challenging time of year for educators, waiting eagerly for the rest that Spring Break promises. Instead of waiting, let’s come together to prioritize rest, self, and community care. We’ll think, write, and talk about how to navigate our own and one another’s needs in hard times, as well as how we might use writing to support our students in their trying seasons as well. Join us in-person at 10:00 AM at the Center for Urban Education for food and fellowship.
Or, join via Zoom, so you can bring the coziness of your own coffee, tea, bed, couch, or blankets along with you.
