GW's Weekly News & Notes

Our kindergarten students began their monthly yoga classes this week with instructor Danielle Larsen from Rise Mindfulness & Yoga! Through mindfulness movement, yoga, and affirmations, students are developing strategies to support self-regulation, emotional awareness, and resilience.

We are especially grateful to the Mahwah Schools Foundation for its generosity and for approving this district-wide grant that makes these meaningful experiences possible for our kindergarten students. We look forward to watching our youngest learners grow in mindfulness, confidence, and connection throughout the year!
