Zen Room
You can visit the Zen Room located in the Library during study halls or sign up in PowerSchool to take advantage of it during advisory. This space is a great way to take a break from the daily stress that you may find at school. Channel 8 news did a feature on our Zen Room highlighting the benefits of taking time for yourself when you need it! Watch segment here »
Please sign in at the door on the ipad before entering. After that it is your time to explore the many different strategies that can encourage relaxation, rejuvenation and a sense of calm. This space will be open every period of the day and teachers can send 1-2 students from any study hall/guided study at a time. There will be a maximum of 6 students at a time in the space so if it is busy be sure to come back at a later time.
The television is set up with a huge library of mediation videos, yoga sessions, relaxing soundscapes and other helpful content to make the most of your time. You will also find a couple comfortable chairs to curl up with a book from the wellness library or take some time to just color. This is a great opportunity for all students so be sure to take advantage of this welcoming space. View Zen Room Rules & Access Codes »

Why Mindful Breathing? The purpose of mindful breathing is to anchor yourself in the present moment, so that you can let go of worrying about the past or the future.
