Wellness Activity – This Wednesday

Hello Academy Parents,

We are pleased to share that we will be welcoming a guest speaker, Shannon McNamara, during our Wellness & Health sessions on Wednesday, May 13 and Wednesday, May 20.

Shannon is a certified facilitator for the SafeSitter and Safe@Home programs. As part of our Wednesday Wellness and Health course, students have been exploring a variety of topics including safety at home.

We recognize that every family has its own practices and expectations, and we deeply respect those differences. Our approach is centered on providing students with knowledge and skills so they can make safe, thoughtful choices in a variety of situations.

In order to prepare the students, last week we held our class discussion on this topic and the students discussed the following questions for themselves (see link here). If you are able to discuss some of these topics with them between today and Wednesday, it will help them feel more prepared for our sessions to come. 

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like additional information about the sessions.
