Dear MS Parents/Guardians,
This exciting program is now open to MS students. We have places for 12 students only. The training will be led by Jackie Greenwood (grade 7 counselor) who is a trained Mindfulness teacher. The Mindfulness in Schools Project (UK) have designed this 8 week program, which has been successfully evaluated by Professor Felicia Huppert of Cambridge University and Professor Katherine Weare, Exeter University. Mindfulness is now highly regarded as a life skill that can be taught to young people and adults to improve well-being and enable people to flourish.
If you would like your child improve their attention/concentration, feel happier, calmer, more relaxed, improve their relationship with others, and help them feel more confident in situations that make them feel anxious like tests or sport or music performances, this program is ideal for your child. If you think your child would benefit from this program, please complete the online form by the 8th November 2013 to reserve your place. There is no cost for this program.
The program will be held on Wednesdays and starts on the 13 November 2013 from 2.15 until 3.15 and takes place in the MS Office. Students need to know this is an 8-week commitment.
