Children can experience a variety of minor and major traumas that can impact their mental and physical health, behavior, and academic performance. How do different traumatic experiences affect children's nervous systems, bodies, and behavior? How can we recognize the signs of trauma and support children within our institutions?

The week after SLC or any event that challenges student growth is a huge opportunity - don't miss it! Many of our students are teenagers in European schools where living out a Christian faith can be difficult, where speaking up takes courage that does not come naturally, where identifying as a Christ-follower may not be received be warmly. How will we as teachers and school leaders engage them in their next steps of faith and leadership?
We would like to congratulate all the wonderful students who participated in our first ACSI Europe Art Show responding to the theme of "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.". We were very encouraged to receive over 60 art pieces from schools all across Europe — a remarkable debut for this new tradition.
