Acceptance Affirmations

Each month Waitsfield School will focus on a different Social and Emotional Learning theme. This month's theme is ACCEPTANCE. After talking about what it means to accept yourself and accept others, students chose their own "Acceptance Affirmation" to write and paint on a puzzle piece.
