Our goal is to provide an opportunity for students and families to learn more about life beyond JHHS, to be exposed to schools and programs community members have attended, what community members have gained from their educational experiences, and which postsecondary institutions could be possible great fits for our current students.

WHEN: Wednesday, May 17, 6pm
WHERE: Teton County Library, Ordway Auditorium

Raising Girls, a program of GAP! will facilitate a discussion around the content of Dr. Dan Siegel’s book, Brainstorm, the Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain.
Mindfulness is a hot topic these days! Once thought of as only a secular prayer event or meditation, practicing mindfulness is beginning to prove its benefits on all brains regardless of an associated religion. The science behind mindfulness has demonstrated that the brain, in deed, has the capability to change, grow, and integrate itself through intentional mindful practices. The increased social-emotional development that comes from one’s ability to inwardly investigate, especially for teens, can prove to be one of the most powerful opportunities a teenager has to develop future potential.
