Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parents, if you can help your teens find or create a quiet space for this class, that would be wonderful! Thank you!
Supply List
Each student will be provided with handouts to take notes, however, if they prefer to write in their own notebook or journal, that would be fine as well! If each student can have an unwrapped piece of chocolate (any kind you wish-small bite size would be best) for a mindful eating exercise, that would be great! Thank you. :)
