MEA Break: A Minnesota Tradition

Each October, students across Minnesota look forward to MEA Break—a long weekend to enjoy fall traditions, family time, or simply a slower pace. For educators, it’s more than a break. The Minnesota Educator Academy (MEA) Conference offers time to connect, learn, and bring new ideas back into classrooms right away.

Here in central Minnesota, MEA is a reminder of the balance between growth and rest. Whether you’re attending sessions, catching up on projects, or taking time to recharge, we’re grateful for the dedication you bring to your students and communities every day.

Enjoy the long weekend, and thank you for all you do to make learning thrive across our region.
