Over thirty thousand K-12 students are homeless. Thousands experience bullying, depression, abuse, or have witnessed domestic violence or other violence in their communities. Many have lost a parent or suffered a traumatic experience.
Emotions and relationships directly affect how students learn and how they use that learning in other contexts. If a student is anxious, afraid, or worried about other stresses in his or her life, those emotions will interfere with attention, memory, and positive behaviors. By developing social and emotional skills, students will be equipped with tools to overcome barriers to their learning and even find solace in education and going to school." Find the whole text here (only 5 pages). To help us pass this critical legislation, sign up here. The House version, HB 1760, will be heard at 8AM on February 12th at 8AM. Join us to support your legislative team! It is PTA awards season, and it is time to recognize fabulous educators, volunteers, and advocates in all of our local PTAs and at Council.
If you do not have a form for your PTA and you would like a template, go to the Council Level Awards & Scholarships page for a starting point. There you will also find a great flyer that Northshore put together that lists all awards and directions on email nomination.
