Each is designed to afford students the opportunity to build deeper relationships with faculty and classmates, foster student leadership, bring life to academic objectives, and deepen their worldview.
Each Wednesday morning students attend chapel together. Students enjoy singing a variety of praise and worship songs, led by the elementary worship team. Chapel also includes a message focused on a monthly theme. Teaching from God's Word, speakers help students gain a deeper understanding of who God is and how to apply His truth to their lives. Chapel presents a wonderful opportunity to help students grow in their personal relationship with Jesus!
A wonderful leadership opportunity, Barnabas Chapel is a monthly meeting of small groups of students led by our sixth graders. Barnabas Chapel is a time when students reach across grade levels to care for one another. Students share prayer time, discuss the theme of the month and learn about biblical ways to solve conflict.

The rest of the school year is spent raising awareness and chapel offerings are donated to the selected mission or outreach program.
Student Council gives students a voice in their school and provides an opportunity to grow in leadership skills. Under the guidance of the principal, the council meets throughout the year to discuss school climate and student life topics such as recess, service project, lunch, chapel, and spirit days.

The elementary FLE program is taught by the regular classroom teacher. The early elementary program emphasizes the importance of families, distinction between good and bad touch, sources of help, and the importance of friendships. Human sexuality is first introduced in grade four. In the Human Growth and Development unit, students learn about the male and female reproductive systems. Students view age-appropriate videos and learn the maturational process, changes which occur during puberty, and prenatal development. Students study the effects of peer pressure and begin to examine the influence of media on behavior and attitudes. Students begin an understanding of sexually transmitted infections in grade 5. The emotional and social health unit includes abuse prevention from good touch/bad touch in primary grades to types of abuse in upper elementary grades. Instruction for abuse prevention includes resources for help.

Objective: To assess the impact of a yoga curriculum in an elementary school on student quality of life, and to assess teacher and staff perception of potential barriers to, and benefits of, introducing yoga and mindfulness into the classroom.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was utilized to assess the impact of a brief intervention on third-grade students who screened positive for symptoms of anxiety. Students were randomized to an intervention group of 20 students receiving small-group yoga/mindfulness activities for 8 weeks between October 2016 and February 2017, and a control group of 32 students receiving care as usual. The Brief Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale-Peabody Treatment Progress Battery and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) served as outcomes. Teachers were invited to participate in two professional development sessions about introducing yoga and mindfulness into the classroom, and completed a survey following each of the sessions.
Conclusion: The intervention was associated with a significant improvement in emotional and psychosocial quality of life in the intervention group when compared to the control group, suggesting that yoga/mindfulness interventions may improve symptoms of anxiety among students. Yoga/mindfulness activities may facilitate stress management among elementary school students and may be added as a complement to social and emotional learning activities.

We are finishing chatting when the art teacher goes to spend some time with a student who has come to visit her. Each staff member at our school has been asked to donate some time to do a check in with a student who is at risk for having a tough day. This could be negative behaviors but also a propensity for sadness, low attendance, trouble at home, etc. I make a mental note to reach out to the teacher of the student I signed up to meet with this school year. My watch alarm goes off to alert me that classes are starting and I take a deep breath. Here we go.
