Reeds Spring’s youngest learners will soon be better equipped to manage their emotions and solve problems, thanks to a $10,000 Hope Grant from the Silver Dollar City Foundation.
The grant will allow Reeds Spring Primary School to expand its use of Conscious Discipline, a program that equips educators with strategies for helping students build self-regulation, resolve conflicts, and develop positive relationships.
“Many children enter school with limited tools for handling big feelings or disagreements,” said Principal Adria Simkins. “Conscious Discipline provides a common language and proven techniques to guide students, making classrooms calmer and more focused on learning.”
