Ways to Improve Student Health

Wellness Wonders: Cultivating Wholeness in Our School Community!

Greetings Families!

We invite you to join us at our annual \\\\\\\"Wellness Wonders\\\\\\\" community event on August 1, 2023 from 3pm to 5pm at the Library Center, where we will be teaching about the overall wellness of our students and their families. We believe that the well-being of our children extends beyond the classroom, and that a healthy body, mind, and spirit contribute to academic success and personal growth (Hargreaves & Shirley, 2021; Woloshyn et al., 2019).

This year, we have an array of exciting booths, presentations, and activities, all dedicated to supporting various aspects of wellness.
