Montana Mindfulness Project: Courtesy of our very own student leader, Sheila Hamlen, we are excited to bring a workshop from the Montana Mindfulness Project to students in grades 5-11. Each workshop will range 15-45 minutes in length, depending on the grade level, and provides practical tools for setting boundaries, reducing stress, and implementing tools for coping and mindfulness. Letters have been sent home to parents with additional information, including an opt-out form (click here for an electronic version). You can also explore the inspiration behind the curriculum at the Mindfulness Institute for Emerging Adults and Mindful Schools.

Olweus Bullying Prevention Program: A comprehensive approach to the prevention of bullying. It is this research-based definition that our district has adopted when dealing with cases of bullying.

Power Up, Speak Out: Thanks to ASPEN Montana, students in grades K-12 will participate in a program to discuss healthy relationships and allow themselves to put practical strategies into place for interacting with a variety of populations. Letters will be distributed to parents a couple of weeks in advance of the scheduled dates listed below; click on the dates of the program for the parent letter associated for those grades.
