The Gratitude Brunch 

May 10, 2025

Mental Wellnes & Mocktails

Mental Wellness & Mocktails is a refreshing and uplifting event created to celebrate and support the well-being of educators. Hosted in honor of our founder’s late grandmother, Mary F. Tindal, Marion County’s first Black Golden Apple teacher, this experience brings together teachers and staff for a joyful evening of connection, relaxation, and gratitude.

The event features inspiring speakers, chair exercises, mocktails, massages, giveaways, and more, all designed to help our educators unwind, feel appreciated, and be reminded that their mental wellness matters.
