We’re hiring a Pre-K Teacher to join our school family!

Way to go Michael, we are so proud of you! Michael has been our go-to editor for the school news, and this month he trained and gently guided other students through the editing process. Many of the students were doubtful they would be able to edit the news adequately enough, but because of Michael's patience and empathy, he was able to coach them. He was also very understanding and willing to cover the editing when students had a big test coming up and wanted to use that time to study.

We are so proud of Daylen! Daylen helped with the Freshman concessions the other day and showed empathy by listening to the struggles the freshman are going through and then offering comfort and advice from his life experience. The act of patiently and actively listening showed great empathy. Way to go!

We are so proud of Cristiann. Cristiann has shown a lot of empathy to other students in our publications class, along with the people he has interviewed for the news program. Where many are nervous to be on camera and be themselves, he shows empathy by relating to them and then leading them by example in a way that is comforting and supportive. Great work!
