Social Work Corner
SEL is helpful to both children and adults, increasing self-awareness, academic achievement, and positive behaviors both in and out of the classroom. Students who are equipped to deal with problems that affect them on a personal level are then better able to navigate the pressures of adult life. This week SEL lessons will be...
6th Grade: How to have respectful communication
7th Grade: Resolving social conflicts
8th Grade: Understanding unhealthy relationships
Every week we will be highlighting a social emotional lesson that we are teaching our students. Click here for an overview of the Second Step program.

The K.I.N.D Fund stands for "Kids in Need of Desks," and its mission is to improve access to education for children in Malawi, especially girls who are often left behind. But the fund goes beyond just providing desks; it supports a range of programs that help children access healthcare, clean water, and nutrition, as well as provide protection from violence and exploitation. The fundraiser runs until May 5th, and we encourage all students, parents, and staff to participate in any way they can. You can make a donation through Revtrak, or via cash/check at your school building.
