TOP SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS

These District 202 social media posts got the most attention and feedback this week:

	New artwork coming soon #JonEBalkeGallery at Administration Center. #202proud
	Hands on learning @HeritageGroveMS #202proud https://t.co/Z7sEkL33vf
	Students in Dana Olson's physical education class at Walker's Grove Elementary School are learning the benefit of mindfulness. Olson is teaching students calming breathing techniques, visualization skills and stress reduction poses. Students also are learning how to focus their minds on being present in the moment. Taking a moment to check in with oneself can give students the power to choose their response to daily circumstances carefully, Olson said. #202proud
