Last week, NorthStar middle schoolers hosted an interactive Wellness Fair for Northwood students in grades 3–8. Funded by a grant earned at the UW-Superior Youth Summit in the fall, the completely student-led event featured two rounds of four 25-minute sessions focused on helping kids build healthy habits. Participants explored the benefits of physical activity, creative arts, and nutritious snacking. To ensure the content was age-appropriate, elementary students practiced calming breathwork while middle schoolers engaged in a session regarding the negative effects of vaping. It was a great day of learning, and our students did an awesome job leading the way toward a healthier community!







Today at Tiny Seeds they honored all of their mom’s. They invited all the moms/grandmas/mom figures to Muffins with Moms. They celebrated with muffins, fruit and juice for breakfast.
