Over the past few weeks, the 3DE teachers and students have been working through the SPANX Mindset Series. Through a partnership with 3DE, Sara Blakely, SPANX Founder and CEO, shares her insights to engage 3DE students in discovering their purpose, setting goals, and pursuing their dreams with intentionality and confidence. This 4-year journey builds a strong foundation for student growth and development and equips students to build community, think flexibly, and focus and reflect.

Check out the powerful word clouds that she and our 9th graders created before and after their discussions, and how their perceptions of failure changed!
