The Hallmark Retreat engages educators in reflection and conversation on the 7 Hallmarks of a Notre Dame de Namur Learning Community.

The retreat includes time for learning, discussion with colleagues from across the SNDdeN network, and time to plan strategically with fellow teachers/colleagues from your own school or learning center. The retreat also includes time for personal reflection, rest, and socializing.
