New sensory hallways!!

The St. Philip School Council was excited to partner with the school to provide two sensory hallways for students. This is a great initiative that helps students with self-regulation, and provides a calming activity when they need a body break to help them succeed in their learning. This new "Road to Regulation" was introduced to students at the Mindfulness Monday session last week.
