How Regulate, Connect, Reflect is Transforming McLane Elementary

After attending the Generation Wellness Training in December, Principal Dannie Clark took immediate action to bring wellness to life at McLane Elementary. Click play to watch Dannie share what she did and how it’s making a difference:

Taught the Brain + Body Connection 

Dannie visited every classroom to teach students how their brains and bodies respond to stress, giving them language and tools to better understand and manage their emotions. 

Launched a Wellness Room

Within just a few weeks, Dannie transformed one of the offices inside the front office area into a dedicated Wellness Room. It’s an inviting space where students can reset, reflect, and return to class ready to learn.

Made Regulation Part of the Culture

Staff began using simple, brain-based tools from the training to support daily regulation, making wellness a shared practice rather than an extra task.

Prioritized Connection + Reflection

Through check-ins, connection activities, and regular reflection, McLane and staff built stronger relationships and deeper self-awareness among both students and staff.

Dannie’s story is a powerful reminder that creating a Wellness Room doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right tools and a few intentional steps, you can turn insight into action and create lasting impact.
