Program adapts to each grade level: Grade K-2 meditation is simplified as is the wellness teachings on food, environment and communication skills. Group dance and songs remain same. Grade 3-5 Greater focus on importance of being aware of technology's (cell phones and video games) overuse and forgetting about the benefits of outdoor activities. Group dance song remain the same. Grade 6-8 program focuses on more in-depth active participation of health practices and community involvement. Group dance and song remain the unchanged. We can expect students to experience better mood, with lower levels stress, and anxiety.
