Social Emotional Learning
At the same time, please remember to take care of yourselves. Take time to refresh your mind, body, and spirit. What happens behind the stage influences what happens on the stage. It is hard to take care of our students unless we take care of ourselves.
Thank you for what you do everyday to help our students be successful; not only academically but in life.

Everyone of them has committed to building meaningful relationships with their students and engaging them in powerful learning. Thank you!!
