BPLiving

Today during our Friday morning meeting, West students learned about @bp_living. We focused on “forming and maintaining relationships” through a large group pick me up activity that encouraged students to interact and learn more about each other! @bigpiclearning @newburghschools

You're invited! @bp_living is kicking off a series of Living & Learning workshops on Oct 25 - starting with topics related to relationship building with young people. Multiple options for attendance are available. Further details are available at: bpliving.org/workshops
