Black Lemonade

We're on the path of developing our community superheroes! With a focus on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) our students are provided the space to actually feel every emotion that consumes them. We take them through interactive and reflective activites that allow them to analyze their emotions and find an outlet to positively express those emotions. An additional component to our superhero curriculum puts students in a leadership role that allows them to find the lemons within their community, personal lives, and school and turn it into lemonade.

As the year progresses, we utilize the skills of our staff and community resources to ensure our students are maintaining satisfactory grades.
