YOUR GENEROSITY SUPPORTS

Social Emotional Learning

Thanks to SEED, we have received Kimochis training and Kimochis Toolkits, which I have used daily in person and in distance learning with my students. I have watched my students, some as young as age three, quickly gain an emotional vocabulary, an ability to identify the feelings in their body and to learn and use strategies to communicate effectively and manage big feelings.

The consistency of the Kimochis curriculum throughout the school district will support students’ social-emotional development from grade to grade. I am so thankful to SEED and Kimochis for making such a lifelong positive impact on our students!

DIGGY, THE SEED PUP

Lasting Impact

In May of 2020, the Champlin Family of Lafayette was approved as a puppy raiser by Canine Companions for Independence (CCI). SEED stepped in to help the Champlin’s cover the cost of 18-months of raising Diggory (aka Diggy) to the high standards of CCI.

When Diggy graduates he will join the ranks of his fellow canines, in service to adults, children and veterans with disabilities, and as facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice and educational settings.
