🎨 Teacher SEL Painting Activity 💙
Monte Alto ISD teachers recently participated in a relaxing and meaningful SEL painting activity, where we explored creative techniques that remind us of the importance of taking care of our mental health. Through art, reflection, and conversation, our staff had the opportunity to slow down, relax, and focus on their well-being as we prepare for Spring Break.
A special thank you to our amazing RGDA Counselor, Geneva Gomez, for leading this wonderful session and bringing our teachers together for such a positive experience.
We would also like to thank Mrs. Destany Regino and the SSI Grant for ensuring that our teachers are supported and cared for. When we take care of our educators, we strengthen our entire school community. 💙
