The Longwood Elementary counseling enriched classroom team at HEART held a very successful family fun pizza night at Roundtable Pizza Hayward. One of HEART’s intentions this past school year was to find more time for community building and Family engagement. There was 100% turnout by our families and all of the Longwood team attended. The family feedback shared was that they all had a wonderful time and loved having the chance to connect with other families with shared experiences. The team all shared that it was a great experience to spend time with families having fun outside of the school day. This was such a success that our program has planned a family movie night for all seven of our classrooms to see Inside Out 2 on June 18th. We’re looking forward to continuing these events with our families!

Our annual Unconditional Education Student and Client Satisfaction Survey kicked off this Spring to gather unique perspectives, highlights, ideas, and feedback from the youth (8 years-old and above) across all our school-based programs. Our team is always eager to learn more about how we can continue providing services to best support the youth we serve. The insights the youth in our programs have provided help shape and identify how we can continue to improve our services and supports. With 68% of our student population participating in the client satisfaction survey this year, here are some highlights from the responses:
We also heard directly from students about how their lives have changed with Seneca, things that they have learned, and how we can improve our services and support. Our youth voiced key themes of making more school friends and strengthening relationships in life, feeling successful and confident at school, and learning new skills towards developing personal growth. Here are a few direct positive quotes that embodies those themes: “I get along better with kids at school, they respect me and are nice to me.” As much as it’s rewarding to hear positive affirmations about how our services are being felt, our team will make sure to acknowledge any areas for growth to continually refine and strengthen the services we provide for all stakeholders.

When it comes to using literacy to celebrate different cultures, John Muir Elementary has the magic touch. This K-5 school located in the lower Haight neighborhood of San Francisco is in their second year of partnership with Seneca. Unconditional Education Coach, Raquel Monge, has stepped in to support Muir's "Read-In" program. During each cultural celebration month, the school brings in members of that cultural/ethnic group to read a story to each classroom. During Black History month, Raquel shared her perspective on the African diaspora in Latin America and read Michelle Obama: Former First Lady and Role Model by Grace Hansen to a bilingual second grade class. Muir celebrates LGBTQ+ Pride month early, and this year, Raquel invited Jonathan Tugbenyoh, Director of School Partnerships, to read Papa, Daddy, and Riley by Seamus Kirst to a bilingual Kindergarten class. Next up, Muir will be a Multicultural Celebration in the month of May. Want to learn more about this innovative way of bringing literacy into cultural celebrations? Reach out to [email protected].
