Did you know… we practice what we TEACH. Mrs. Reimers does a meditation after her workout everyday!
Healing from trauma starts with the mind-body connection. Trauma lives in both memory and the body—so true healing must care for both. Here are a few strategies to support your journey. #DrivenToHeal #MindBody

We are working hard on relationship building and student resilience. #District114Proud
Belonging is one of the four universal needs in the Circle of Courage. When students feel they belong and have positive relationships with their teachers and peers, it builds resilience. 💪 How are you fostering a sense of belonging in your classroom? #DrivenToHeal #belonging
