As college students we are well versed in healthy, well balanced lifestyles. We all eat right, get enough sleep, exercise regularly and avoid the things that are "bad" for us. Right? Even though that might not be completely true, LONGELY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL wants US to teach kids about "Wellness." On APRIL 7th from 1:30-2:30pm Longely Elementary School will be having a Wellness Mini Course day. They are looking for Bates students to teach 10-12 students about activities like juggling, theater, dance, yoga, meditation, origami, etc. What do you do to "be well"? Think you might have something to offer? Email Katie <kseamon@bates.edu> Brought to you by the Student Volunteer Office.
