BROUGHT TO YOU BY GREAT TEAM!

This event is a collaborative effort from the Glorietta Staff, Student Council, and the OUSD Math Coach

 . 

Glorietta students learned about the impact of the Camp Fires on students at Ponderosa Elementary in Paradise CA and helped create Peace Kits to support them.  Working with their buddies, students personalized notes and drawings to include with the tools for mindfulness and resiliency in a canvas bag that will be delivered to all the students at Ponderosa Elementary . 

Our own Glorietta parent, Tanuka Gordon with Mindful Littles, helped organize and lead the Orinda Cares collaborative effort with the district.  Glorietta parents and School Board members Liz Daoust and Hillary Weiner along with a host of other volunteers helped make the 2 days of effort a success!  It was a moving and meaningful experience of compassion and caring for others.

Diverse Ability Awareness Week (DAAW), took place January 14-18. The week starts with a performance at an all-school assembly featuring Urban Jazz Dance Company, a dance troupe comprised of deaf and hearing dancers. All week, students will participate in class activities focused on exploring ideas and themes about diverse abilities.  The week culminated with interactive fair on Friday, January 18.

Presenters included:

• CEID (Center for the Early Intervention on Deafness)
• Carrie Farber, Principal Product Manager, Walmart eCommerce, who is visually impaired
• Christina Lyons of Child's Play Occupational Therapy 
• Kate Bolton-Schmuckler, Visual Impairment specialist from Contra Costa County of Education
• 

OUSD values that our community  works together in nurturing healthy and happy students. One of our District’s strategic goals is supporting students’ social, emotional and physical needs.
