Second Quarter Groups
During the second quarter, we will continue our organization groups and will start conducting mindfulness groups in 7th and 8th-grades. Small groups are limited in number based on the topic, ranging from about 5-12 students. If you feel that your child is struggling with anxiety or would benefit from mindfulness practice, please do not hesitate to reach out to your school counselor to find out more information about small groups!
