💙 Want some good news? Something powerful happened in a third-grade classroom in Hidalgo, Texas, this week. At Dr. Alejo Salinas Jr. Elementary , students learned they're the "drivers" of their own bus—choosing which influences belong in the front, middle, or back seat. Counselor Yolanda Martinez and HTYPE Specialist Norma V. Garcia transformed a PROTECT lesson into an interactive experience. Using Velcro words on a large school bus visual, students placed their influences—trusted adults, teachers, friends, scary news—based on how much impact those people and things have on their lives. The completed bus now hangs in the school library. Students can revisit and update their influences over time. Each child took home a bookmark as a reminder: You're in the driver's seat.
