Collaborative Well-Being Video Series
In partnership to support our students, families and communities in Becker, Monticello, Elk River and Big Lake Schools, our school districts have collaborated to create a Well-Being video series. We are uniting alongside local healthcare professionals from CentraCare and Central Minnesota Mental Health Center, as well as our community’s STIR organization.
Our Well-Being video series will focus on one letter from “present” every week. We are focusing on “present” because the concept of “being where your feet are” is so important since mindful awareness is key to both appreciation and change.
