After nearly 2 years of working tirelessly to stay in community with each other behind screens and over the phone (which our team and students did an AMAZING job of), our Berkeley High School Counseling Enriched Classroom (CEC) program is finally finding some normalcy by connecting in person through a variety of group activities!
And most excitingly, field trips are back!
Our Berkeley Unified School District teachers and our Seneca staff have made it a priority to build and enhance community relationships as part of returning to school, even in the midst of this ongoing pandemic. Their efforts have been welcomed with open arms by students eager to connect.
One of the highest reviewed activities by students thus far was learning and practicing Capoeira from a guest instructor at a nearby park. This outing was connected to our student’s World History class in which they were learning about Brazilian culture. Our CEC teacher reported that our students brought their authentic selves, were silly, and had a blast during the experience.

While we recognize that we are still limited in opportunities to get outside of the classroom, our team, adults and students alike, are committed to finding new ways to continue building relationship and community, all while having fun!
