POWER TO BELIEVE SCHOOL WELLNESS SEMINAR
This year our school is focused on promoting student and school community wellness. At the School Council meeting in early October, we discussed offering family friendly events to promote health and togetherness.
Our first event will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 25, from 7-8:30 p.m. in the school gym. Students, their friends and family or community members are all encouraged to come and enjoy the UFIT’s “Power to Believe” seminar.
This seminar will energize you to new heights. Gordon McNeilly will take us on a fun, exciting journey that will give us all the strength to grow individually and as a school community. Join McNeilly as he shares his zest for life and allows us to relax and enjoy his unique style of interaction and motivation.
He focuses on changing the way you think about your situation so that you can strive to achieve more out of your life. With the support of the group or team around you, everyone starts to grow and change together instantly.
Help spread the word to ensure this is a successful event.
Snacks will be provided as well. Hope to see you there.
