Park Avenue students break for a confidence boost

Park Avenue students will R.O.A.R. with even greater confidence this school year with the help of positive and mindful messages they will encounter on their bathroom breaks. 

Delivered in brightly-colored posters funded by a community grant from the Stewart’s Foundation, the confidence and kindness-boosting messages were posted on school bathroom doors this week with the help of current and former students, PTA and staff members. 

Principal Sandra Wood secured the grant-funded posters as part of school-wide efforts to integrate mindfulness in social-emotional learning and

development. Positive messages also align with Park Avenue’s PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports) programs and R.O.A.R. (Respect, Outstanding choices, Acceptance, Responsibility), the school’s matrix of behavioral expectations.
