EP Rayzor Elementary is raising the bar!

The entire faculty and staff at this Texas school is involved in understanding, recognizing and using what they know about strengths to help their students. 

Students made squares for a strengths quilt, but so did their teachers. Students interviewed each other about their strengths, but so did the teachers. Check out some of the quilt walls!

The fifth graders in Strengths Foundation do a regular news broadcast that features strengths. They also attended a special two-day strengths camp with T-shirts designed by the teachers − check out the logo!

Pasadena students visualize the future!

What a way to inspire students − show them the future! BLAST students in Pasadena visit a college campus to visualize where their strengths can take them. Congrats to Ms. Hermosillo and Mrs. Lazo for making Wilson Middle School a model program!
