This webpage was created to offer information and resources that directly affect our community’s health and culture. Please check in periodically to see what our students are up to and what is being offered to the larger community. We will also be offering resources including: parent workshops, websites, articles, talks, discussion questions that will enhance conversations with our children around health and wellness topics. We hope you utilize these resources.

Author and comic storyteller Cindy Pierce spoke to Upper School students in chapel on Oct. 24 about the need for students to following their moral compass, having social courage, and finding their “healthy crew” (those people, adults and peers, who support them, lift them up and allow them to feel good about themselves). It was a lot to pack into one chapel talk!
Parents, as we strive to encourage our students to be part of a drug-free culture, the Peer Support Network invites them to take part in the following events on campus during the week of Oct, 24-28:
This annual event is held at the beginning of the year for our 9th grade girls. It is led by seniors as part of their senior project. It is an opportunity for the 9th grade girls to get to know each other better, to get to know a few older girls and to discuss what it is like growing up in our society as a female. It is a night of bonding, laughter and fun!
