What an INCREDIBLE honor to have been selected to present at the Work of Fred Rogers: A Cross-Context Conference on Fred’s Legacy in Action Today! I met so many amazing humans from across the country plus had the opportunity to share my work both in and out of the classroom.
My presentation consisted of what I’ve done helping to develop, implement and teach 2 SEL electives for middle schoolers [right here in Mister Rogers hometown of Latrobe, PA!], how Mister Rogers was the OG SEL Facilitator before it was cool & also led those in attendance on a journey through Breathe for Change practices that Mister Rogers also used in his work- like 3 collective breaths, mindful movement, reminders about connection in community, taking space + checking in with yourself, and even some chime time with trolley!
My heart is so full. Thank you Breathe For Change for these amazing gifts you have given me the last 3 years via your trainings as well as having me apart of the team as a mentor. Not only am I able connect with others in this capacity but also to myself. I continue to grow in ways I never imagined. I am exactly where I need to be and showing up in ways that Holly 5 years ago would be extremely proud of. 🫶🏽
