Wellness Center
Our on site Wellness Center is a quiet oasis, a healthy escape from the often hectic school environment. Students, kindergarten through sixth grade, can drop-in to the center for support with a comprehensive array of social-emotional needs. The Wellness Center additionally offers check-ins with the wellness center staff and targeted, evidence-based resources focused specifically on the areas of emotion identification and regulation, mindful relaxation techniques, bullying prevention & intervention and sensory integration development.
Kindness Is Cool
At CASA we work closely with our students to encourage respect, empathy & kindness. Each year we offer a week of workshops investigating these themes and aiming to combat bullying. Through experiential creative arts projects, participants are shown how inclusion and being a “Witness-Hero” can end the bullying cycle.
Our Kindness Is Cool programming is inspired by expressive arts therapist, Maryam Mermey, who takes an innovative approach to addressing bullying. This video is from a 2010 workshop with CASA’s then 5th graders.
