We’d like to introduce the newest members of the MDI Adult Education community…

No, they’re not enrolled in a class.
No, they aren’t teaching one either.

But they have been spending a lot of time outside our office lately. 🐣

These baby geese have been growing fast, and they’ve become a bright spot in our day whenever they waddle by.

Just a little reminder that learning isn’t the only thing happening this spring… there’s plenty of growing going on around here.

Drop a 🪿 in the comments if baby geese make your day too!

Join ADHD coach Shannon Lindsay for a 3-hour session designed for parents, teachers, and caregivers who want to better support children with ADHD, whether they are medicated or not. Together, we’ll explore what’s really happening in the ADHD brain, how executive dysfunction affects behavior, and how routines, structure, and simple tools can make daily life more manageable. We’ll also discuss setting realistic expectations to reduce frustration and foster confidence for both you and your child. This session is for adults only and not intended for children.

* Please note: This event will be held in person with the instructor and broadcast over Zoom. Please feel free to join Shannon in person at our Sullivan Learning Center or via Zoom, whichever is most convenient for you!
