Wrapped up an amazing parent workshop session on gratitude @FACEofBulldogs today! 🎨 These wonderful parent-volunteers dove into creative activities, learning how self-care can empower us to support our kids better. Insights on gratitude, self-regulation, and mindfulness were a hit! 💡 #Gratitude #BudewigParents #AliefPASS #OneAlief

Despite the storms, educators showed up for our session on fostering relationships and boosting social-emotional skills in students. 🌟 They learned ways to weave these skills into lessons to boost confidence, purpose, and connection—reducing behavior issues and increasing academic as well as attendance success! 📚🙌✨ #OneAlief #SocialEmotionalLearning #AliefPASS

@DWGEducateServe thank you so much for coming to our Data Dive today! Key take aways: inspecting what we expect, making sure that we build capacity in those around us, and remembering that it starts with us. Definitely time to reflect on what commitment will look like this year.

Staff members had a great time at the Play Therapy for Neurodivergent Learners training this past Saturday. Participants celebrated the unique ways in which individual brains function and learned how to create a safe play therapy setting through interventions, reflective exercises, tips, and techniques to support neurodivergent students in Alief ISD to explore, heal, and grow! 💕👏💯 #PlayTherapy #SensoryRegulation
