Wellness Wednesdays

Every Wednesday Catalyst students explore health and wellness activities in the community.  Students choose from a range of opportunities including: participating in physical fitness activities, accessing health-related resources in the community, volunteering with our community partners, and exploring creativity at art studios and museums.  We devote every Wednesday, 20% of the school year, to developing the whole-life skills, interests and values that arise from these activities.
