Enjoy these "Wellness Wednesday" pictures from Mrs. Boggs' class! She was awarded a Jessamine County Education Foundation (JCEF) grant so each child received a yoga mat, resistance band, and some new ball seating in the classroom. So far, they've had Jazzercise with Ms. Alex, Mindfulness training from Mr. Collier, and lots of movement breaks/flexible seating with their items!
