Wellness Week 2023!
Riverside School celebrates wellness through Wellness Week, a time to recognize emotional and mental well-being as part of our total body health. During the week, students participate in daily mindful and wellness activities at school and a variety of wellness activities are available to do at home that support healthy social, emotional, and behavioral development.
The theme for each day of Wellness Week promotes overall health. See the box below for last year's Wellness Week themes. Click on each day for more information as well as some simple, stress-free activities you can do with your children that coordinate with our daily themes.
