St. Mary’s Catholic Elementary School has extended the Friendzy Program to preschool this year. Friendzy’s Early Education Program is developmentally appropriate and rooted in Scripture. In their first session, preschool students learned to encourage one another and build each other up. The class practiced a team-building exercise, passing the ice cream cone.

Under the direction of SEL/Friendzy facilitator Kim Sloff, the 9-week program for students in preschool through 8th grade fosters an environment that nurtures academic and personal growth, setting the foundation for lifelong success.
