Valerie Strauss devoted her blog last week to mindfulness in schools. You may have heard that Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda is about to launch a school-wide mindfulness program. In an article in the Post about the Whitman program they mentioned that Whitman is the first school in the region to have such a program. But they didn't know about Lafayette! We wrote to the paper and right away Valerie Strauss blogged about the Whitman program and then highlighted our program. She even quotes from our own website! Mindfulness training is really taking off all over the country and Lafayette is on the cutting edge. Read all about it here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2013/10/10/students-at-overachieving-school-getting-anti-stress-lessons/
If you have any questions about our school-wide mindfulness program feel free to contact Linda Ryden (linda.ryden@dc.gov) or Jillian Diesner (jillian.diesner@dc.gov)
Thanks!
