We work hard here at Fortis! 💪 That makes it even more important to take a little time for mindfulness. 🧘‍♂️✨
Using a program called Inner Explorer, our students (and staff!) are not only practicing mindfulness, but they are also learning crucial coping skills, mindful breathing, and how to handle stressful situations in a healthy way. We love seeing our students grow both academically and emotionally!

🏫 This week was Safe Schools Week! 💙
Our students and staff all around the building showed us their "safety style" by practicing their hallway walking, executing safety drills perfectly, and rocking their bright safety vests. 🦺
Meanwhile, our youngest Falcons spent time over the last two weeks learning about the community helpers who work hard to keep us safe and sound both at school and at home! 🦅✨

Harvey the Hedgehog is showing students what respect looks like in action! 🦔

Through our Moral Focus™ program, students at our Fortis Academy learn how virtues like respect show up in everyday moments, like waiting patiently and letting others go first.

Ask your child: How can you show respect today? We’d love to hear their answers in the comments!
