What’s better than getting to pie your teacher in the face at the end of Field Day?? Not much!😊

De-escalation is not about sending children away.
It's about showing up with presence, even in challenging moments.

Grounded adults help dysregulated children return to calm more quickly and learn from the experience.
Staying regulated allows us to offer connection instead of distance, and that connection becomes the foundation for real change💜

Yesterday was a beautiful picture of a community coming together!❤ Thanks to the Community Bike Program, 31 of our students were able to receive free bikes!! 🚲 🚴 This year we partnered with the Communities at Oshkosh North program to coordinate the event. They were SUCH a help!!! They coordinated with our neighbors at Algoma Boulevard United Methodist Church for our distribution site this year and contacted local media. We also want to give a huge shout out to Cummins Inc, as we were able to provide helmets and bike locks to all students through grant money from them. Thank you to everyone for making these smiles possible!!! ☺ 🤩 😃

Do you have an unused, old or broken 🚲? Don’t throw them away! The Oshkosh Community Bike Program will take them and fix them to give out to people in need though local HR programs! Anyone can drop these bikes off at our Menominee Park pitstop during our May 9th event! We’ll have 2 representatives from the program there to receive the bikes! Thanks and have fun riding!
