Please see the letter below from our very own, amazing Mr.D and his Right From the Start Team.
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
We have visited several classrooms again this week, embedding the MIndUP Core Practice into our sessions, which is part of an evidence-based program which is rooted in neuroscience, supporting Social Emotional Literacy. The Core Practice involves using a chime and deep breathing. Chimes have been provided to all classrooms along with a script to use consistency.

We have (re) introduced "Bucket Filling" within LGMS, tailoring our activities and discussions to the needs and developmental levels of middle school students.
Reflective questions for students:
"What does a 'terrific' (positive/supportive/
"What does 'Bucket Filling' look, feel and sound like in grade _____?"
Students and teachers have been invited to share their responses on post-it notes. "Student Voice" will inform school-wide positive culture and reinforcement of empathy, kindness and healthy relationships.
Please contact Deren or Adrienne, LGMS Success Coaches, via our email addresses with any questions, concerns or feedback you may have.
