Dear Colleague:
Our children grow up in a frenetic world of distractions. At school, we constantly ask them to stay calm, avoid conflict, pay attention – but no one ever shows them how.
With your help, Project Mindful CARES will use mindfulness to teach Delaware Valley kids these and other valuable life skills, regardless of the wealth of their school district.
Mindfulness is a type of concentration through which one learns to listen to mind and body, and pause between thought and reaction. Project Mindful CARES, a program offered by Center for Mindfulness and Wellness, exists to Create Aware, Resilient, Empathetic Students and does so through lessons on mindful breathing, listening, seeing, eating, gratitude, thoughts, emotions, and test taking.
Students in CARES classrooms face the same distractions and stressors that all students do, but they are better equipped to handle them.
Teachers and administrators tell us daily mindfulness exercises have led to happier students, fewer class disruptions, and improved academic performance. The changes are especially marked for students with attention-related disorders.
Help us get these tools into more schools – and get positive recognition for your business – by becoming a sponsor at one of the following levels:
