“When I was in the class, I thought about that sheet. And I just accomplished one of my goals”

YES!!! This crew joined our friends @drivealerttrainingacademy for classroom instruction and to take their permit quiz. AND THEY ALL PASSED 🙌 for us, it’s not JUST doing driving classes. It’s all part of our Individual Success Planning where we take intentional time to meet with our students to map out their goals (through goal setting worksheets as mentioned above) and create additional opportunities (or find things around them!!) for them to reach these goals - and champion them along the way. Grateful for this wholistic approach at supporting our amazing girls 💕

We spend time every Wednesday on fitness and mindfulness with our girls! This past Wednesday, we were joined by @jordankeels to do some partner yoga and take a mindfulness walk! The girls spent the first half of the time with their partner trying to stay balanced as they practiced different poses together. After getting all the giggles out, we went on a walk and practiced using our five senses to be in the moment. Studies show that many people who practice mindfulness have a greater enthusiasm for life and an improved self-esteem. We want to make sure we are giving our girls the practical tools to be the best version of themselves! 💕 ...
