🥤 Wellness Quest Spotlight: Leading with Heart at Gate City Elementary

Shantel Delonas, Principal at Gate City Elementary, shared how small moments of kindness and connection build a culture of belonging. 💚

Although this picture is just of soda, it represents belonging. When I got back to school with this order, I decided to walk around and deliver the sodas individually. I cherish these small moments when I get the opportunity to serve my staff. The connections made and smiles are priceless.

She also shared how she recharged personally with a few peaceful walks in Sun Valley at the end of October — a beautiful reminder of how nature restores and resets us. 🌿

“You Belong Here is created in consistent small moments of positivity, kindness, connection, vulnerability, respect, and appreciation.”

Shantel’s reflection captures the heart of the Wellness Quest — that belonging and wellness are built one thoughtful step at a time. ✨

You Belong Here. We’re More Together.
