#watchmerise
At Phoenix we RISE together. #watchmerise has very special meaning to us all. The R stands for Reliance. The I is for Integrity. The S means Safety. While the E is Empathy. By focusing on these essential principles, we RISE together!
We have had a great 1st month of school. The students have been working on their academics, setting their goals, and on Friday the 22nd we started our "FRIYAY" activity block for the new year. During this time, staff sponsor a variety of activities that students can select from. (e.g. Bike Club, gym time, game club, corn hole, cooking) These opportunities allow students to build and strengthen relationships with peers and staff.
Check out our live feed post to see what we are doing in the Middle School Academy. The students are learning ways to handle stress and this week they created their own stress ball made out of a balloon and flower.
We are looking forward to our first birthday luncheon to celebrate student and staff birthdays of the month. This year we have also invited the counseling and administrative teams from our students' base schools to join in the celebration that is held the last Thursday of each month. For this event, Phoenix staff supply a variety of food and drinks for the celebration.
Stay tuned for more excitement in September!
