Overwhelmed. Overworked. Underappreciated.
Educator burnout is real, but reaching the breaking point does not have to be inevitable.
In the premiere episode of The RCA Mix, Kim Bearden sits down with RCA counselor Yolanda Boyd to discuss the stress educators experience and what we can do to address it.
Yolanda shares practical strategies for managing stress, protecting your energy, recognizing the warning signs of burnout, and continuing to do the work you love without losing yourself in the process.
Too many exceptional educators are leaving the profession. We want to help you stay.
If you are constantly pouring into others while running on empty yourself, this episode is for you. ❤️

What happens when students get the opportunity to learn directly from an artist whose work is making an impact far beyond the canvas? 🎨 They get to see creativity, perseverance, and possibility come to life right in front of them.
Our 5th and 7th grade scholars had the incredible opportunity to spend time with Los Angeles-based artist Devin Wesley.
Devin shared his journey as an athlete and artist, the lessons he’s learned along the way. Our scholars also analyzed two of Devin’s paintings, sharing what they noticed and interpreted before hearing the stories and intentions behind each piece directly from the artist himself.
Even with an impressive career that has included Emmy Awards, major brand collaborations, exhibitions, and numerous honors, Devin brought incredible humility, honesty, and generosity to his time with our scholars.
We are so grateful to Devin for sharing his story, his art, and his time with us. Experiences like this give our scholars more than a glimpse into an artist’s work. They help them see what’s possible when you stay true to your voice, keep going, and have the courage to create your own path. 🖤🎨

LEADERSHIP IN ACTION!
Our House System Leadership Academy brought students together to experience the energy, culture, and intentional leadership that make the RCA House System so powerful.
From building stronger House communities to creating meaningful experiences for students and staff, HSLA is all about equipping leaders with strategies they can take back to their own schools and put into action.
We loved seeing students learn, connect, participate, and experience the House System firsthand! ❤️💙💚🖤

BINGO NIGHT WAS A VIBE!
Our RCA families came together for a night filled with laughter, friendly competition, big reactions, and plenty of fun!
Bingo Night is one of our favorite opportunities to bring our community together outside of the classroom, giving families a chance to connect, celebrate, and create memories with one another.
We love seeing our RCA families show up, have fun, and make moments like these unforgettable.
