ES and MS Wellness Integration
|Did you know that our 1st grade students have 8th grade buddies? Each year our 1st and 8th grade teachers work to set up the buddy system which offers their students a great many benefits. One wellness highlight is that the teachers are using the language of character strengths to guide the 8th grade students to think about which strengths they can apply in various situations.
The buddy program engages the 8th grade students in the proactive strength of thinking about possible scenarios in which they will need to draw on their problem-solving ability while applying various character strengths.
