Pride Pals is an extension of the classroom Social Emotional Learning program. Seventh and eighth grade students meet with kids in Kindergarten through third grade every Monday. They help their student make with goal setting, making good choices and  developing healthy relationships.

Last week, pride pals got together in the library for game time. Cooperative play is a great way to reinforce all of the skills that students learn through SEL.
