This week, we are thrilled to shine our light on an extraordinary member of our school community—our incredible school counselor, Mrs. Bautista!
Supporting Daily Social-Emotional Learning
Mrs. Bautista works directly with students each day, guiding them through vital social-emotional learning skills. Whether helping students navigate friendships, manage emotions, practice mindfulness, or build problem-solving skills, her door is always open. She ensures that every child feels heard, supported, and valued.
The WellNest: Connection & Teamwork
One of the most beloved initiatives led by Mrs. Bautista is the Recess WellNest! The "Nest" offers students a fun, safe, and structured environment during break times where they can:
- Play board games and cooperative activities with peers.
- Engage in team-building exercises that promote kindness.
- Take a relaxing break and recharge before finishing their school day
Leadership & Student Growth Teams
Beyond her direct work with students, Mrs. Bautista is an active advocate across our campus. She serves on numerous school committees and support teams focused on student growth, academic progress, and overall well-being. Her collaborative spirit and insight ensure that our support systems are tailored to meet every student's unique needs.
Championing Our RICE System
Mrs. Bautista plays a key role in managing our school's RICE system, promoting our core values of Respect, Integrity, Cooperation, and Empathy (RICE). Through her leadership in organizing and hosting the popular RICE Raffles, she celebrates students who demonstrate positive behavior and character!
