“The kit was a great kit, and there are so many tools for us to put into our tool boxes to help us with our social and emotional regulation, however the greatest challenge for us was having to revisit so many aspects due to extended absences (Omicron and isolation).”

“The 'Respectful Relationships' kit was a great starter to the school year. The kit helped my students learn how to articulate their feelings right throughout the day and gave them opportunities to identify what to do when they might be feeling a strong emotion and their batteries are low. I enjoyed watching my children build empathy and strengthen their relationships with their peers through the Playlunch project. I will definitely be using this for years to come.”
