Social-Emotional Learning

Damian Ramirez is a PK4 student in Mr. Zavala’s class. Damian is an outstanding student and a shining example of leadership here at Menchaca ECC. Without being asked, he takes it upon himself to go around and push in all the students’ chairs and put things away when it’s time to clean up. Damian’s initiative and thoughtful actions demonstrate not only his responsibility but also his genuine care for his fellow students and the learning environment. Keep up the great work, Damian!
