š An SEL SUCCESS! š A big thank you to our incredible Somerville High School community for making our 4th Annual SEL Celebration one to remember!

š¾ Our Ville administration for approving all the wonderful therapy dogs!
š§āš¬ Our amazing staff for creating fun, out-of-the-box activities: from classroom experiments and World Language yoga to the legendary human bicycle! š²
š”ļø Our security crew for keeping us safe and scanning everyone in.

Our students spent time reflecting on the incredible legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and discussing what his dream means for the world today. We were moved watching them pick up their pencils and share their own visions for the future.
From dreams of kindness and equality to big goals for the planet and their communities, our students are proof that the future is in incredible hands. š”š¤
