Over the last 2 years, the 500 wing has spent a lot of time working on restorative practices and building community. And what better way to bring people together than with food! Nothing quite like a team-wide brunch full of good food, fun music, and some bonding to close out the week!

Each new week is a chance to pause, breathe, and reset. At Mill Road School, we support students in building resilience, practicing self-awareness, and discovering tools for calm and focus. Let’s begin this week with kindness—for ourselves and for others. #MindfulMonday #TraumaInformed #StudentWellbeing #MindfulnessInEducation #SocialEmotionalLearning #ACES
