Social Motion

Who’s your favorite superhero?

During a recent game time, a shared interest in superheroes had our Spring Branch Tweens exchanging favorites, asking questions, and keeping the conversation going.

It’s always a thrill to witness the connections our students make with one another, keeping the social motion going!

We’re excited to welcome our University of Houston interns to Social Motion this fall!

Starting next week, they’ll gain hands-on experience in our classrooms while also supporting outreach and community partnerships throughout the Fall 2026 semester.

We’re grateful for this partnership and look forward to having them as part of the Social Motion team!

Students in our Heights Intermediate class are learning how to recognize and respond to bullying with confidence by exploring different types of bullying and practicing ways to communicate assertively, stay calm, and know when to seek help from a trusted adult.

One SoMo mom is seeing exactly what she hoped for when her son joined Social Motion: genuine friendships and connections that extend beyond the classroom.

This is what Social Motion is all about. 💙

We all have moments when we feel like we don’t quite fit in.

Students in our Heights Intermediate class recently explored what it means to be open to new experiences and how doing so can create opportunities to connect with others, build confidence, and find common ground. Through games and shared activities, they put those ideas into practice while having fun with their classmates.

Katy Young Adults had a fun time at Katy Mills Mall, spending time with friends over good food and great conversation, making for a memorable outing!

Social Motion is excited to offer internship opportunities in partnership with the University of Houston Human Development and Family Sciences program.

Interns gain hands-on experience supporting inclusive programs while building professional skills through classroom, community, and administrative opportunities. It’s a chance to make a meaningful impact while completing practicum or internship requirements.

Games provide the perfect opportunity for conversation and practicing social skills, bringing returning and new students together in a fun, relaxed setting where familiar friendships can grow and new connections can begin.

Great pizza and even better company!

Our Katy Young Adults recently spent time together at MOD Pizza, enjoying a meal, conversation, and the chance to connect outside of their regular group setting.

Community outings like this give Young Adults an opportunity to socialize with peers, strengthen connections, and simply enjoy time together.

Our Spring Branch Elementary students recently learned that asking the right questions can help keep a conversation going, something they practiced during a game of Don’t Break the Ice.

By focusing on how to ask questions and show interest in what others have to say, the game gave students a fun opportunity to practice communication, turn-taking, and connecting with their classmates.
