Season 4, Episode 5, "What the heck is a needo?"

In this episode of the SEL Podcast, Dr. Sweeney sits down with a group of students to talk about one of the most talked-about topics in the building — Needos. What started as a stress-relief tool quickly became something much bigger in our school community. Together, they explore what Needos are, why they became such a distraction, and what students can learn from the situation.

Along the way, the conversation expands into bigger topics like communicating with adults, advocating for yourself, and understanding how decisions are made in a school setting. The episode wraps up with a fun discussion where students share what they would change if they were principal for a day.
