We’re excited to highlight Malcolm X Academy Elementary School (MXA), located in the vibrant Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood! MXA embodies the values of freedom, justice, and equality, aligning beautifully with Seneca’s commitment to unconditional care and education. The school is a cornerstone of the community, providing invaluable support and resources to its students and families.
This year, we have our Clinical Intervention Specialist, Shaina, and Student Support Assistant, Nelson, who are dedicated to offering Tier 3 services– therapy, intervention planning, direct behavioral services, and collaborating with the students’ support team to ensure quality and equitable care.
In addition, Shaina has collaborated with school social worker and has taken Seneca’s support a step further by introducing “First Fridays,” a wonderful initiative aimed at fostering connections and building community among the MXA community.
“First Fridays were started with a goal of building community among ALL staff at MXA – teachers, support staff, admin, BGCSF, Seneca, and beyond. We open our office on the first Friday of every month between 11:30am-1pm and encourage all adults to socialize, enjoy a treat, listen to music, nap on an adult-size bean bag, color, or whatever they may need. The MXA team dedicates so much energy, time, and love to our kiddos and we want to celebrate, appreciate, and love on all of them regularly. We believe that by being in community and experiencing collective joy, we can best support our students and each other”- Shaina
