Life 101 delivers student wellness through a weekly curriculum of mini-courses, workshops, classroom lessons, speaker series, assemblies, presentations, and our school rituals and traditions.

Programming Highlights

Week of August 16

Week of August 16

This week, we had our first full Advisory in Life 101. This time will be used for each advisor to have some fun, get to know each other and their advisor, and build their small community tribe that will be their homeroom and advisory all year. Advisors will be creating fun activities and IceBreakers during this 40-minute advisory.

Next week, we will be introducing Middle School clubs and organizations to all students. This will also be a time for students to sign up for clubs and organizations that they are interested in.
