Capturing Kids' Hearts ... gives adults skills and strategies for better interacting will all students. And those tools and skills are passed on to students as they build relationships with others."

– Tron England, JMS Student Support Facilitator

A key takeaway is that CKH is a process, not a program. It becomes part of our culture through curriculum, building environment, and interactions with others.

Teachers Get Caught Up in “Capturing Kids’ Hearts”

JHS Principal Ryan Woods and JMS Principal Brent Riessen identified a training, called “Capturing Kids’ Hearts,” for all teachers, grades 8-12, that helps adults create meaningful

and healthy relationships with children and youth. As the district continues its focus on student health and well-being, this two-day training will prove to be a valuable step in

coaching staff on ways to create meaningful connections with students.
