This week during Between the Bells Week, our students took part in a special “Mindful Minute” activity during lunch periods led by Deputy Rosario’s student intern, Adrian Frame, Ms. Nickerson and Ms. Zambotti💛
Students were asked:
“What would you say to a peer who chose the same cat as you today?”
What started as a simple prompt quickly turned into a wall full of encouragement, kindness, humor, and support. From “Be kind to yourself” to “You matter” and “Have a good day,” our students reminded us just how powerful words can be.
In the middle of busy school days, taking even one mindful minute to connect, reflect, and uplift each other can make a difference.
We are incredibly proud of the positivity and compassion our students showed throughout this activity.
