Centering belonging at Collins Middle School:
Under the leadership of Dean of Students and School Culture Terrell Greene, Collins Middle School sixth grade scholars gathered in two large circles Wednesday morning to discuss how they are affected when unkind situations arise. To put them in the right mindset, Mr. Greene and Student Support Advisor Giannis Panagiatopoulos engaged students in a game of `When the Wind Blows,` spurring them to move seats and sit among different peers when presented with situations and how they were impacted.
Later, scholars formed small groups and were challenged with different scenarios -- each offering instances of unkindness, disrespect, and/or negativity -- which facilitated discussion about recognizing situations and taking leadership.

It was an early release day today, but not for our educators.
At the Saltonstall School, educators opened their professional development (PD) session with success stories of students and one another, then dove into MCAS training and working to narrow gaps in English Language Arts classes.
Additionally, Playworks New England conducted a workshop for all staff -- assistant principals, teachers, paraprofessionals and licensed social workers of Salem and Lynn Public Schools -- on how to make recess better for students and educators.
