Mindfulness Art Family Night
On November 26th Roseville Community Charter School hosted its annual "Mindfulness Art Family Night" here at the school to rave reviews! The Mindfulness Art Family Night is a major component of our S.E.L.F. & Wellness program which was implemented in SY 2019-2020 through our partnership with the Victoria Foundation / Newark Trust for Education and this program has been quite effective in creating an environment where our scholars learn how to self-regulate and manage their emotions through mindfulness strategies. The parents enjoyed the event so much that they expressed wanting to add another Mindfulness Art Night but for parents only! We think parental self-care is important which is why part of our SELF & Wellness program is devoted to parent self-care; and this suggestion fits right in with our philosophy! Celebrating our amazing Art Teacher, Ms. Solhir and our RCCS SEL Committee for coordinating this successful event; and shoutout to all the RCCS staff and families for their active participation! In addition, on the evening of this mindfulness art event, we held our "Holiday Grocery Bag Giveaway" and distributed 30 bags of groceries to food insecure families just in time for Thanksgiving and the long holiday weekend! "RCCS GIVES... and we teach our scholars and families the importance of giving back to their community through monthly service projects, SEL lessons, civics club activities, and student leadership opportunities. I am so proud of our school community for our giving spirit!"
~ Dr. Dionne Ledford, RCCS Superintendent
