🌈 Happy #PrideMonth!
Here at Creative Action, our 4C students develop skills that promote self-awareness, sense of belonging, community, and a commitment to social justice.
Check out these books that could help them on their journey.
"Our students want and need to talk about what they see, remember, and are feeling now; they need the guidance and safety of adults in their lives to be able to navigate their own emotions and trauma in a healthy, safe, and productive way."
