MINDFUL MOMENT

Gratitude for Another Year with the SEL Project

Thank you SEL in OST Cohort Participants and Consultants for contributing to our SEL in OST community this year!

Thank you to our SEML Community of Practice for continuing to gather in camaraderie one with another. We shared stories and wisdom with each other, looked at content together, and continued to remain connected as the years pass since the first SEL cohort back in 2020!

Thank you to each one who sent in an entry for our annual SEL Day Showcase. Congratulations again Janell Davis, Nashua 21c – Dr. Norman Crisp Elementary Site on winning the SEL Day raffle! 

Thank you to all who took part in any or all our Mindful March Series of Trainings on Wednesday evenings in March! It was a joy to take part with you in mindful growth together. Again, congratulations to Jodi McCallion of Rochester Child Care on winning the mindfulness basket raffle! 

Thank you to all who opened their doors and had their children participate in the big “SEL Community Quilt Project” this spring. It was truly a joy to connect with each of you and your programs. This was the first time that the project has really been able to get out in-person with kids and staff in programs. This was a major success and major turning point from all we’ve been through together with the limitations the pandemic caused over the past 3 years. Let’s hope for future in-person visits in the years to come! 

Thank you to the Boys and Girls Club of the North Country for hosting our SEL Guide Training for your program, for the first time in-person! Let’s hope for more future in-person workshops and trainings to come! 

On Saturday, May 6th at the 2023 Celebration of OST Professionals, many were nominated and recognized receiving "Making a Difference in OST" Awards.

Thank you to all of the staff and administration who thoughtfully Make a Difference in the lives of children and youth in SEL!

Last, but not least, thank you to the ACROSS NH team of trainers and consultants who continually contribute to all the project offers to our community. From hosting SEL connected trainings, providing consultations, attending SEL connected trainings, to being the tremendous examples you are to each of us…THANK YOU!
