BE : WELL

Introducing Be:Well, our new ESD 112 wellness committee!

As we begin to engage in our wellness mission, we would love your input! Will you take a minute to respond to our survey to guide our team through brainstorming wellness opportunities for all ESD 112 employees?

Is Wellness Your Passion?

Join us for Friday Brain Breaks.

The Be:Well committee invites you to join Gahlya Auel for Brain Breaks on Fridays at 12:00pm! Gahlya will lead participants in simple practices for 5-15 minutes to calm and refresh your brain. In this brief time together, you will learn and practice new strategies that can be utilized and implemented throughout your day so that you can be as comfortable and productive as possible. Click here to learn more about Brain Breaks and their benefits!

As we busy ourselves with brainstorming wellness opportunities for the coming months, we invite you to review a few posts from the past. There’s some great information related to health and wellness that other ESD 112 groups have posted. It looks like wellness wisdom doesn’t expire!
