We have some exciting new programs, starting in the New Year to foster mindfulness and movement throughout the school day.
Brain Breaks with Circuit Training
Brain breaks are quick activities that give students opportunities to pause, move, and interact in safe, structured ways. We're bringing our hallway circuit training back to ensure every child, each day has the chance to take a few moments to move, re-charge and return to class with renewed focus. Activities will include wall push-ups, squats, running on the spot, stretching, and lunges, to name just a few.

January Fitness: Yoga
Jessica Kelly, Artistic Director of Act Alive, will be joining us every week for the month of January to teach yoga to all of our students. Classes will be divided into small groups and the practice of yoga will be explored through poses, art, and games. The children will stretch and strengthen their bodies, improve focus and discipline, and have fun!
February Fitness: Hip Hop Dance
Jessica Kelly will be back, bringing some funky vibes to the mountain! Our students will love learning the latest moves and grooving to their favourite songs while rehearsing choreography in this upbeat, weekly class. We may have to plan a performance because parents won't want to miss out on this!
