Over the past two weeks, Kate's students have been putting their heads and hearts together to think of ways they can spread kindness! After reading The Kindness Quilt by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace in guidance class, they got creative and made their very own kindness quilt. Each student contributed a special piece, reflecting their unique ways to make the world a little brighter.

This school year, we’re excited to share that our dedicated support staff will be participating in the Strengthening Families Program during 4 scheduled MSI days! The program will provide our staff with valuable tools to strengthen relationships and support student well-being both at school and at home. What’s even more exciting is how this aligns with our Literacy Together initiative! By fostering strong connections with families and students, we’re building a foundation that not only supports emotional health but also encourages a love for learning—especially when it comes to literacy. 📚 Together, we are creating a supportive environment that empowers our students to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially. 💙 #WeAreMAPS See less
