The event welcomed professional and volunteer “heroes” into classrooms to speak with students about their roles and responsibilities. Participants included nurses, doctors, police officers, members of the military, EMTs and custodial staff, many of whom are family members of South Street students.

As a special tribute, students were invited to dress as their favorite heroes, creating a memorable way to show appreciation for the real-life heroes in their own community.

Tuttle Avenue School students are putting their leadership and business entrepreneurial skills into action as part of the school’s Little Leaders Snack Cart initiative. 
Staff place their orders ahead of time, and the students then organize, prepare and deliver each order with care and responsibility. They build confidence, teamwork and communication skills every step of the way.

This program is being implemented as part of the school’s leadership in action plan included in their Leader in Me journey. Special thanks to Ms. Groeger and Ms. Heimann for helping to bring this truly student-led opportunity to fruition.

Throughout the week, students explored mindful meditation techniques while practicing yoga, creating space in their school days to pause, breathe and reset. What started as something new quickly became a highlight, as students were highly engaged and embraced the opportunity to focus on both their physical and mental well-being.
