My Project

Our students have great superpowers. They have the power to share toys with a classmate. They have the power to practice breathing when they are upset. They have the power to stand up to bullies. They have the power of choice.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Through books, games, and access to comforts such as stuffed animals, the kids get daily opportunities to develop their social and emotional skills. When the children consistently choose to be kind and respectful, their academic skills have a much greater chance of improving and they tend to be much happier as well!
