Emery Park Elementary Wellness Center

The Viking's Wellness Center is to provide students with alternative activities to do during lunch instead of the traditional lunch recess activities. 

In general, the room is open during lunch time on Monday, Wednesday and Friday unless Gateway staff is in a meeting. In addition to traditional board games, students can also draw and color pictures, and read books.
