School banner in four languages: Welcome. We practice the Wakanheza Project supporting, protecting, respecting, and cherishing children, young people, and families.

The Wakanheza Project® gives schools, teachers, parents, and communities tangible, easy to use tools that work to reduce tension and barriers that lead to harsh words or actions. It amplifies what schools are already doing to offer safe, comfortable, welcoming places for children and families.
