"The Sun does not forget the Village just because it is small "
of students who struggle to succeed in school are having difficulty because of unmet social and emotional needs, rather than poor academic performance. In communities and systems throughout Connecticut the social and emotional well-being of students is not only especially overlooked, but consciously and unconsciously deteriorated.
We need your support to give students the tools they need for emotional well-being AND to help schools end their own internalized biases. We do this by teaching mindfulness through meditation, movement, and creativity, and by supporting teachers in understanding how to mindfully deal with personal and structural trauma.
