You Are a Gardener® at The Peck School 1/9/25 A Shining School Spotlight: The Peck School Hello, gardeners! Today, we are excited to highlight an incredibly remarkable school in our brand new School Spotlight! We are excited to feature The Peck School in Morristown, NJ. Last week, it was a great pleasure to present our #PullYourWeeds® Assembly to their K-4 students in their Lower School. This opportunity blossomed last spring when a wonderful friend introduced us to Ms. Ashley Tabor, Head of The Lower School, during a collaborative meeting where we discussed how You Are a Gardener® could help nurture seeds of empathy and kindness among their students. The Peck School features a stunning campus characterized by beautiful historical architecture. Founded in 1893, this coeducational independent school places a strong emphasis on character development, which truly resonates throughout their entire community—from their students and educators to their administration . It was a tremendous honor to present at such an outstanding school! We developed a new and customized presentation exclusively for The Peck School, and the response was overwhelmingly positive- see reviews below! Here are some highlights from the #PullYourWeeds® Assembly at The Peck School: All 187 students at The Peck Lower School collected a record-breaking 11 Gardening Tool Badges in only 30 minutes , a first in the history of our #PullYourWeeds® assemblies. (See their record breaking Collector's Sheet below!) We reconnected with Gardener Franny, a student at the Peck School , whom we met during a previous assembly at the Rainbow Montessori School two years ago when she was in preschool! She made a point to reintroduce herself at the end of the assembly. We received encouraging and positive feedback from Ms. Ashley Tabor, Head of The Lower School, and Karen Wasserman, the School’s Psychologist (see below) Each student received a Gardener’s Gratitude Journal with a challenge to write down 3-5 things they are grateful for each day until their journals are full. ( Gratitude is also a wonderfully helpful Gardening Tool we explored during the assembly.) All students took home a "You Are a Gardener" newsletter packet filled with fun resources and activities to help continue the program at home! The Peck Lower School received a private weblink with a wealth of resources , activities, links, visual aids, and more to help keep The You are a Gardener® mindset growing in the classroom. At the assembly's conclusion, Ms. Tabor recognized a couple of students for their acts of kindness in their school's ‘Lift Ticket’ initiative, which celebrates kindness, empathy and doing the right thing by highlighting students who perform these wonderful acts. (See our Lift Ticket for The Peck School’s students below.) The Peck School's Record Breaking Gardening Tool Badge Collector Sheet- 11 Badges in 30 minutes!

Thank you once again, and remember, gardeners, Pull Your Weeds! ~Gardener Shanna “Thank you for your presentation last week. We received wonderful feedback. I wanted to share that when I walked into a classroom on Friday, the students had made origami foxes and decorated their "Consideration of Others" board with them. You made a significant impact, and I look forward to discussing more with you in the future.” ~ Ms. Ashley Tabor, Head of The Lower School at The Peck School. “Thank you again for your time and expertise. The presentation and information were exciting, and I know it will be referenced often.

Hello gardeners! Today, we’re digging deep and uncovering the roots of unkindness. This is a challenge that gardeners of all ages may encounter. Often, when one gardener behaves unkindly, it can stem from their own negative emotions. Scroll down to download our FREE Uncovering The Roots of Unkindness Printatble to use at home, in school, or in a counseling session. Scroll all the way down to collect your Gardening Tool Badge for this activity! Let’s dig into this further. If a gardener is feeling: Embarrassed, nervous, anxious, overwhelmed Sad, gloomy, unhappy, down Mad, angry, upset, furious, stressed Lonely, left out, hurt, scared Any of these 'weeds' (negative feelings) can lead to unkind behavior. That’s why it’s essential for us as gardeners to remember not to take unkindness personally when it happens.Instead, we can approach these situations with empathy and understanding. By recognizing that unkind behavior often sprouts from unresolved emotions, we can respond with compassion rather than judgment. This mindset encourages us to offer support and lend a listening ear, helping the troubled gardener pull their weeds and plant seeds of positivity. Here are some ways to nurture empathy and kindness in the face of unkindness: Pause and Reflect:  When faced with unkind behavior, take a moment to pause and consider what might be going on beneath the surface. This reflection can help you respond thoughtfully rather than reactively. Express Understanding:  A simple acknowledgment like, "It seems like you’re going through a tough time," can open the door for meaningful conversation and connection. Offer Support:  Let the person know you’re there to help if they need it. Sometimes, just knowing someone is willing to listen can make a significant difference. Set Boundaries:  While empathy is important, it’s also important to set healthy boundaries to protect your own well-being. You can be compassionate without accepting harmful behavior. Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is walk away from the situation. Encourage Positivity:  Share encouraging words or actions that uplift and inspire. Positivity can be contagious, helping to transform the environment and foster a more supportive community. #PullYourWeeds: Talk about the unkind encounter with a trusted gardener and seek support for positive solutions to move forward on a positive path. By cultivating these practices, we can help create a garden where kindness thrives, even when faced with the weeds of unkindness. Remember, every gardener has the power to make a positive impact, and together, we can nurture a world that blossoms with empathy, respect, and love.

You can use copy paper, poster board, a bulletin board, or even create one online using a fun program like Canva! This activity is perfect for schools, family gatherings, or individual projects. Hang your goal boards in a frequently visited spot— like your room, on the fridge, in your office, beside your bed, or as a screenshot wallpaper on your mobile device. Creating vision boards is a wonderful mindfulness activity for gardeners of all ages because it encourages gardeners to focus on our goals and aspirations in a tangible and creative way. By gathering images and words that represent our dreams and desires, gardeners of all ages engage in a reflective process that promotes self-awareness and clarity of purpose. This activity allows participants to visualize the future, nurturing a sense of optimism and motivation. Gardener Goal Board Free Printable The act of cutting, arranging, and pasting images on a board requires concentration and presence, drawing gardeners into the present moment and away from everyday distractions (weeds). This focus helps to cultivate a calm and centered mindset. Additionally, sharing and discussing vision boards with other gardeners can enhance communication and empathy, as gardeners learn about each other's hopes and aspirations. Gardener Goal Boards boards serve as a visual reminder of planting our positive intentions, making the pursuit of goals a more mindful and intentional journey. This creative process not only inspires but also reinforces the belief that with dedication and focus, dreams can be transformed into reality.

It is a great delight to highlight the remarkable and extraordinary school district of South Plainfield, NJ, in today's School Spotlight. The journey began in June of 2024 at the end of the last school year when Mary DeGregorio, School Counselor, MSEd, MEd at Roosevelt Elementary School, reached out about organizing an assembly during their Week of Respect in the fall of 2024. Mary’s enthusiasm for our #PullYourWeeds® Program inspired her to collaborate with her fellow school counselors throughout the South Plainfield School District. In October and November, we had the honor of presenting assemblies at all four outstanding elementary schools, reaching over 1,400 students collectively. Engaging with an entire school district fosters a sense of community and allows us to collectively plant seeds of positive change. It was incredibly special to meet and connect with each school’s administration, experiencing the warm and nurturing environments they create for their students and staff. In addition, the school district received a private weblink for their staff, providing access to numerous resources and activities to help cultivate the You Are a Gardener® mindset in their classrooms. It is always so wonderful when Gardner Anna helps with an assembly! It is a beautiful connection for the students to see what it's like growing up a gardener! The district also participated in our Keep It Growing Book campaign, collectively raising $150 for their schools through book sales, which is another wonderful way to support our programs at home. We are immensely thankful to Mary and her dedicated team of counselors for their unwavering support and efforts in making each assembly a success.
