Circle Time
A beloved part of each day - all gather together to celebrate birthdays, helping parents, our "snack friend" (whoever brought snack that day), and so much more. This is the core of our community buidling at school.

Brought by one of our students and their family, students share a little meal family-style. We use this shared eating experience to grow patience, conversation skills, gratitude, and respect for others.
