December in the Den:
We are excited to share the monthly wellness initiative for December! The December theme is “Mindfulness”. Wellness Counselors are continuing to work hard to provide activities and resources for students, staff, and parents. This month’s resources include a take-home winter mandala coloring activity for students and mindfulness lessons and activities at lunchtime on Thursdays and Fridays. These activities include: a Winter mindfulness walk, learning more about mindfulness and its benefits, a mindful eating workshop, learning mindful breathing techniques to name a few. Wellness Counselors will also be hosting a Mindfulness Cafe for staff that includes healthy snacks, mandala coloring and mindfulness activities. All of our December mindfulness focused activities emphasize the benefits of taking time to be present in the moment.
