Calling all artists!
There is a strong interest in our wonderful district for some extra creative time!

At Olympia, we want to create a space where our teachers can thrive.
One way we work towards doing this is through our teacher mentoring programs. Our teacher mentors are trained to provide quality support to the new teachers in our district while also encouraging them to develop their unique teacher presence. We are grateful for our amazing group of teacher mentors here at Oly!
