We also have a well being assembly for the entire school every Monday morning where Ms. Flynn and the committee tell us about mindfulness, being happy and what they have planed for us that week. At the end of the assembly we give out Random Acts of Kindness Awards to someone from each class for something they did during the week. Every class also also has a well being workshop with Ms. Flynn. We are also looking forward to our Heart to Heart Disco on Tuesday February 18th.
