A MESSAGE FROM THE

SEL PROJECT COORDINATOR

Greetings SEL in OST Colleagues,

Once again, it doesn’t seem possible that we’re here together at the end of November with 2023 just around the corner! It is the time of year where many within our culture celebrate gratitude and generosity in various ways. I am tremendously grateful, each day, for the professionals in our state who work endlessly on behalf of NH children and youth to assure that they experience SEL supportive environments in their OST programming. Thank you for all you do.

Warmly,

Abigail

As you know, ACROSS NH hosts a social, emotional, and mindfulness learning quarterly community of practice to provide professional development opportunities for networking amongst the SEML in OST professionals in our state. We are blessed to have allied professional, Deborah Dutcher, from the NH State Library who connects with our group and is an ambassador for SEML materials to be available through our state’s public library services. Here is a link to her webpage to explore the materials she has:

Home - Social, Emotional and Mindful Learning - LibGuides at New Hampshire State Library

Please reach out to Deborah “In-A-Snap” to learn how to gain access to the ENTIRE MINDFUL ME CURRICULUM for your community (and maybe even your program) for FREE! Please extend our spirit of gratitude to Deborah for her tremendous work in procuring and making available this meaningful asset to our NH children. You might also be interested in looking at the materials she compiled for her library “peace packs” that go on loan to public libraries around the state. What a source for inspiration!
