As a reminder, each year on the third Monday of January, we observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day and reflect on how we can continue improving our school culture to ensure that everyone feels safe and their voices are valued within our schools.  As a school, one of our building goals is related to building a positive culture.  We work together to promote kindness and inclusion.

Ms. Trevino wants to teach the importance of being kind in everyday situations. This program will run on Tuesdays for 10 weeks, starting on February 25. Space is limited to a maximum of 10 students to help individualize the learning for each student. We will utilize engaging activities to help cultivate a fun learning opportunity for all.
