@staci_durnin @Mustangs1226 @MrsHazenMineola So proud of our learners for taking a risk and sharing how much SEL has helped them!

Learners did an incredible job pleading their cases to King Hammurabi, after breaking laws from his code. Sadly, the king’s rulings are harsh today!! #eyeforaneye #mesopotamia #thrownintheTigris #MineolaProud

Launching book clubs cafe style! Learners took part in a book tasting, where they were able to sample “a taste” of some book club titles for the year ahead. Reading, reflection, choice. 📚 #bookclubs #mineolaproud #starbookscafe
