Students who participate in weekly activities and complete five out of the six sessions will receive $50 from Well-being Elevated. Each session is one hour and meetings begin weekly with an off over the week of Thanksgiving. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER TO PARTICIPATE Signups close on October 22nd, or when all sessions are full.
