OUR PROJECTS
Focus on Children
For this project, we learned how to plan effective lessons to put together for pre-k students. We broke down the lesson plan into parts and focused on why we wanted to have an activity for the pre-k students and what we wanted them to learn. We also wanted to emphasize that we can teach lessons while also having fun and being hands on. We decided to focus on 2 holidays and one content area that students were learning in class at the time.
National Programs in Action: Stand Up
For this project, we identified a community need based around suicide awareness and mental health. In order to address this concern, we planned and organized a Mental Health Summit and Lock-In for Meadow students to attend and learn about suicide prevention and awareness, mental health resources, and coping skills for stress and anxiety.
