SEL Matters: Zabreah's Story
Zabreah's Story - Legacy 2020
Zabreah used to deal with some pretty big challenges at school, St. Mark provided her a safe spot where she could stand up to the bullies in her life and be a leader for her friends. This is her story.
When March 2020 came, our children's worlds were drastically changed. While the way we connect with them may have changed, our hearts never closed, and our work helping kids navigate big things hasn't changed.
