Teaching Mindfulness to Our Kids by Janna Kampen
Janna Kampen, Social Emotional Specialist with Anchorage School District, will introduce parents to Mindfulness, how to be mindful and helping your children to be mindful. What is Mindfulness?? It is the quality or state of being aware or conscious of something. Mindfulness occurs when we pay attention to what is happening in the here and now. The workshop will include Mindfulness activities, literature to support Mindfulness, resources about Mindfulness and practicing mindfulness with children and various methods of breathing to help children for calming and de-escalation. Can't wait to see you there!!

Milo the muskox
Meet Milo the Muskox. Milo is a strong-headed, patient, and resilient young herbivore who enjoys hiking, traveling with his family and friends, and participating in community activities. He states that the most fulfilling aspect of his educational journey with FPCS has been the fact that he had the freedom of a flexible schooling schedule. That freedom allowed him to join scheduled events with the many community service outlets he volunteers with: The Muskox Farm, Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, Oomingmak, and the Alaska Zoo, to name a few. Milo found his Ambassadorship with each organization an enriching experience as he learned a great deal about himself in the process of sharing with others...so much so, that he plans to travel to East Greenland in hopes of further connecting with his own heritage and distant relatives.
Milo has maintained a 3.75+ GPA, received many certificates of recognition for his community service/Qiviut donations, and has earned his USPA A license.
