Wellness Workshops
Posted on:
Last month, while GYPSD teachers attended their annual conference on February 4th and 5th, students in Grades 3 to 8 across the Division had an opportunity to continue to learn and support their own personal wellness.
Lisa Beckstead, GYPSD's Success Coach with the BEST Program (Bringing Empowered Students Together), hosted a virtual Wellness Workshop. The two days were broken up into two parts sessions: day one for students in Grades 3-5 and day two for students in Grades 6-8. The workshop consisted of a variety of topics, activities and even a creative art component.
Students learned about respect for themselves, others and their own community, building and understanding empathy, learning how inclusivity works within social situations, and learning the value of not only being courageous but also being courageous to be themselves.
