Body Safety and Boundaries Workshop
On Friday, March 3rd KIS offered a Body Safety workshop to families aimed at those who had students in EY3-Grade 3. The purpose of this workshop was to share with families the language we teach at KIS around body safety, safe touch and healthy relationships. Families saw what students learn in their classes, and learned about how they can help support students in setting boundaries, and giving consent.
