This year’s Zones of Regulation tree is complete!🎄Students chose different emotions and created unique ornaments to represent that emotion using the four zones. We then decorated the tree to spread some holiday spirit! 🎅🏼🎁❄️ @ZonesOfReg @polk_street #WeAreFranklinSquare

Our “Deck the Halls” wall of holiday cards and family photos add a warm feeling in our main lobby!
