Take Your Passion and Make It Happen: 2016 Teacher Blogger Retreat



For the last three years, I have had the privilege to attend the French Lick Teacher Blogger Retreat.  For two of those years, I have had the opportunity to help Holly (Mrs. Ehle's Kindergarten Connection) with the details of this event.  Watching this event grow over the years has been amazing.

Going into this year, I have to admit, I felt burned out.  Being a teacher is not for the faint of heart.  The responsibility we have to our students is huge, not to mention all of the additional pressures we have (or even put on ourselves).  I feel as if I had lost sight of what was important to me as a teacher.



This weekend was, in a word, fabulous.  

I was able to reconnect with some of my favorite people.

Not only was I surrounded by many of the most positive people I know, I was also able to be inspired to remember that I love what I do, no matter how stressful it can be.  When I have days where I feel like I'm being pulled in all different directions, I can remember that there are hundreds of thousands of inspiring teachers in the same boat.  We aren't alone in living our passion!

As always, we had so many wonderful sponsors who shared the love with us for the weekend.

  2. Oh my goodness! I felt so burned out too. I almost didn't get in the car and drive to Indiana. Being sick, overworked, stressed, etc. had me overwhelmed. I am SOOOOOOOO glad I came.

  5. The kindergarten allows plenty of time for kids to play and develop friendships. The staff at Phoenix preschool was quite caring and supportive. I have not encountered any difficulties while enrolled at this school.

  7. They definitely deserve applause for the nice selection of bread and the service at this place which was good from start to finish. The mass produced filet was too good. This is the best place for hosting great events. The LA venues can accommodate as many as 850 guests or as little as 50.

  17. Organic Rice syrup is actually extracted from brown rice, even if it retains a large part of the minerals, due to the splitting of the starch it loses the fibers and proteins, moreover the procedure used is very similar to that used to produce beer.
