On Tuesday, Nov. 12, the Rotary Clubs presented Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Journals that will be given to all NCPS middle and high school students during a special event at Red Oak Middle School. These journals, valued at $8,000, were more than just pages—they were tools for self-reflection, resilience, and growth. ?? Created by mental health advocate Gregor Baum and funded by the Red Oak Area Rotary, Rocky Mount Rotary, and Nash-Rocky Mount Rotary, this initiative reflected the community’s dedication to student well-being. SEL skills like emotional regulation, empathy, and problem-solving are crucial for both personal and academic success, and we’re proud to see our schools embrace these resources. A big thank you to Chad Thompson, Jeannie Kerr, the Rotary Clubs, and all involved for championing this cause. Together, we’ve built stronger, healthier futures for our students. ?? #MentalHealthMatters #SocialEmotionalLearning #EducationMatters #StudentWellBeing #EmpowerStudents #FutureLeaders #NashCounty #NashCountyPublicSchools #CommunitySupport #RotaryClubs #GivingBack #K12Education #StudentSuccess #EmotionalIntelligence #GrowthMindset #NCPSchools
