The first day of school was full of color at Daybreak Elementary as students arrived to a big balloon arch.  Administrators and staff lined the sidewalk cheering them on as they made their way to the playground.

The school mascot, Bubbles, was on hand to make sure all students were feeling the excitement of the first day. Parents were thrilled to get pictures with the beloved mascot too!

Teachers greeted students at the playground, where balloons again marked where everyone was supposed to line up. Teachers wore their colorful shirts with the school’s theme reminding everyone to Color Daybreak with Kindness!

Way to go Daybreak Elementary School! Have a fun, kind and successful school year.

Healing Connections

Posted on

Wellness Wednesday LogoWriter and therapist Lisa Olivera once said, “Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you, doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone.”

Healthy relationships and strong connections are essential to everyone’s health and wellness. As we begin the new school year, each student and parent could benefit from intentional efforts to deepen connections. We don’t know what lies ahead this year, but we know with certainty that none of us can get through life alone.

This is a great time of year to reach out to a friend with whom you have lost touch or to make an effort to form new connections and friendships.

If you are unsure where to turn for connection, healing, and support, the 988 crisis line can be called 24/7. In addition to this resource, Jordan District schools are full of caring professionals who are ready to support you and your student.

We look forward to building healing connections with you throughout the school year!
