We are back with new Mindful Moments for the new year and for January our theme is new year goals! We introduced "STOP," a coping strategy that helps students pause, take a breath, notice what they’re feeling, and choose their next best action before reacting. Watch now to see how you can help your students regulate their emotions. Video link: https://youtu.be/JeqEki20n1M

Our Winter Concert at Allendale-Fairfax Elementary School was an original production featuring a breaking news theme and performances representing diverse cultures. The program included selections from our kindergarten, third grade, and fourth- and fifth-grade chorus groups, as well as our faculty choir. Our related arts teachers thoughtfully incorporated multiple elements of the arts, highlighting music, dance, visual art, and media. A special holiday edition of our Mindful Moment segment reminded us how to stay positive during the holiday break. The show was worth seeing and a wonderful celebration of creativity, culture, and community.
Last night marked the final performance of A Winter’s Tale by the AFMHS Chorus, and they performed to a packed house! The program fused together holiday carols and gospel sounds, creating an uplifting energy that filled the room. Our Band also gave their first public performance, featuring saxophonist Bo Gardner, along with a special cameo by our Superintendent, Dr. Vallerie Cave. We are grateful to everyone who came out to support the show, and we hope you truly enjoyed the experience!
