Social and emotional learning (SEL) has the power to help children develop skills necessary to succeed in school, be prepared for the workforce, and become positive and healthy citizens. Soar with Wings aims to help K-5 students build the core social and emotional competencies - self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, social awareness, relationship skills - that they need to succeed in school and thrive in life. Parents, guardians, and caregivers help students succeed. Help your children build emotional and social skills that will strengthen them for a lifetime with these fun, easy-to-use activities.

The 51st international celebration of Earth Day is coming up on April 22nd!

Earth Day is recognized around the world as a day of action to protect our planet by changing our behavior, raising awareness about the climate crisis, and to create global, national, and local policy changes.

The idea for the first Earth Day came from Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970 after a massive oil spill near Santa Barbara, California. Nelson and his team promoted events across the country that inspired 20 million Americans to take to the streets. By the end of 1970, the first Earth Day led to the creation of the EPA and numerous important environmental laws.

This month, we've organized activity ideas for students, staff, families to celebrate Earth Day at home or at school.

We're looking forward to celebrating Earth Day with everyone! Please share your photos and celebrations with us using #ParkwayEarthDay
