The mid-August program is designed also to consider and celebrate the process of going back to school. Through natural context learning, students prepare to be their best academic and social selves on the 1st day of school and every day! Activities are functional social experiences with an emphasis on mindfulness, self-esteem, and FUN! Participants build and take home a visual tool kit/binder to carry over the skills taught and support their learning.
