Our Mindful Maven with our students to demonstrate the Take 5 approach when we need to calm down. #MineolaPrideDay #Mineolaproud @leslievanbell @Mustangs1226 @MrsHazenMineola

Learners did an incredible job pleading their cases to King Hammurabi, after breaking laws from his code. Sadly, the king’s rulings are harsh today!! #eyeforaneye #mesopotamia #thrownintheTigris #MineolaProud

Launching book clubs cafe style! Learners took part in a book tasting, where they were able to sample “a taste” of some book club titles for the year ahead. Reading, reflection, choice. 📚 #bookclubs #mineolaproud #starbookscafe
