15th Anniversary Celebration

We are very grateful to all who were able to attend our 15th Anniversary Event on October 2nd. It was truly a magical evening celebrating the Center for Reaching & Teaching the Whole Child (CRTWC), Dr. Nancy Lourié Markowitz (CRTWC Founder), and Dr. Ernest Black (the inaugural Dr. Patty Swanson Trailblazer Award Recipient).

We also want to extend a huge thank you to all who donated, those who have written and shared beautiful words with us about the impact of our work, and those who have collaborated with us and who have pushed our thinking forward! Last week, our hearts were filled as we looked around the room at the incredible community we have built and are continuing to build.

As we look to our next chapter, we are committed to having an upstream effect in education. We are changing the way we prepare our next generation of teachers, equipping them to teach the whole learner and transform classrooms into inclusive, supportive, and growth oriented spaces. We hope that you will be on this journey of change with us!
