Virtual Mindfulness Room
At John Dewey High School, we have our own mindfulness room designed to emphasize the beauty and value of our school and community. As we continue practicing social distancing and safety, we hope that we, as a community, can continue practicing mindfulness in the beauty of our homes.

On behalf of myself, our administration, and our entire school community, please know that we are here for you through this global crisis, this week and always. We are here when you smile and when you cry, we are here for you even though we’ve stopped going to school, and we will be here for you when we return. I had no doubt that we are all heroes, and we can keep making miracles come.

About the Creators:
As public schools all over the country moved online, we were inspired by dedicated educators who found creative ways to infuse mindfulness into their teaching. We wanted to bring this platform to the John Dewey community by giving teachers and students the space to practice mindfulness virtually.
