Wellness Wednesdays
This year has been one of uncertainty, transition, and growth for all of us. As we continue to navigate all of these changes, the need to take time and engage in our own self-care and wellness is even more important! Throughout this Spring, CPS has dedicated the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays as Wellness Wednesdays. From 3-4 p.m. on these Wednesdays, there will be 3-4 different activities led by some of our amazingly talented colleagues to promote wellness, laugh, and build a stronger CPS community. Please take advantage of these opportunities both to engage in your own self-care and to connect/reconnect with other members of the community. This CPS Wellness Wednesday Calendar gives a preview of the activities planned for this spring so mark your calendars! Specific details will follow. We look forward to seeing you!
