Emotional Wellness Committee (EWC) - Our Vision

• The Emotional Wellness Initiative operates under the core belief that all adults who come into contact with our students have a profound impact on their development as individuals.
  
  

• When schools effectively promote positive character development, they actually see strong academic benefits!
  
  
• We know that successes in life and personal wellness are linked to a set of relational skills that truly can be modeled, practiced, and encouraged each day.
  
  
• The skills toward working in teams, effective listening and speaking, positive decision-making, and calm conflict resolution can be strengthened and refined in our schools.
  
  
• With a true spirit of collaboration between school staff, parents, and the community, we truly can guide our students toward reaching their unique potentials.
