The hallways of Sanford Regional Technical Center were filled with excitement as more than sixty 4th graders from Pride Elementary toured SRTC. Pride students visited six programs throughout the school with the help of guides Kat Randall, Finn Doughty, Neveah Gagne, Tyrese Ottey, Shawnty Harris, and Connor Rice. They got to see the students in action and also learned what the programs were all about from the instructors who taught them. SRTC is planting the seeds and getting kids excited about their future in education.

This year marks the 17th anniversary of the Student Support Room! Pride Elementary school is very fortunate to have a room dedicated to supporting students in a positive and proactive way at school. Hundreds of elementary students over the past years have been able to enjoy having a supportive space to come to for taking a break from the rigors and routines of daily school life. Breaks can be an essential part of an effective learning experience. Having to spend a full day at school is not always an easy task, especially for younger students. Even though school can be a fun experience for many students, some students simply don’t have the stamina to last out for a full day of schedules and tasks. Having a Student Support room, offers our young students a place to come and take a break by using other creative and challenging activities. These breaks are positive interventions that help to allow students a respite and a chance to recharge. There is now overwhelming research that supports how taking breaks at school can have very positive effects on student success, both academically and behaviorally. Studies also show that our brains need a break when learning new material. A brain break can help students retain information and new knowledge. Pride’s Student Support room doesn’t just offer breaks, it also offers positive support to all students who enter the room. Students are greeted with friendly smiles and asked to share how their day is going. The support staff is not a counselor, but acts as a mentor and supportive coach with the students-their goal is to help students do well at school. The support room’s environment is created to offer a peaceful classroom by playing soft instrumental music, and many smiley faces and posters are to be found all throughout the room. Fun activities challenge students to stay focused on solving puzzles that can earn them a sticker or a small prize. Our teachers are largely responsible for the success of our Student Support room because they are the ones sending students to use it. Students can use the room for breaks, fun lunches, positive reinforcement and interventions designed to help them be successful at school. Pride’s Student Support room is a very big part of our positive school culture.

Dear Parents and Families: I am writing to let you know we had a lockdown drill today. This drill included conversations with students about what to do in certain situations such as barricading doors or evacuating the building. If you recall, this is part of the ALICE training (ALICE is short for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate). The students did a great job during the drill. Please contact with me any questions. Susan Inman, Principal
