In the world of education, we usually think of "The Big Reset" happening in August. But by the time April rolls around, the initial luster of the school year has often been replaced by a layer of literal and figurative dust.

Towards the end of last summer, we began tossing around the idea of hosting a partner retreat—something that would bring together our partners not just to collaborate, but to truly connect.

While we work hard to build a strong and supportive company culture, we also make it a priority to give back beyond the workplace. Every member of our team volunteers in different ways—whether that’s serving at local food banks, mentoring youth, supporting victims of domestic violence, helping with school PTOs, or lending a hand to
