Program / Event Details

The G.U.M Squad Program (Growing Up Mindfully) helps kids to manage emotions, make positive choices and grow strong character from the inside out.

The G.U.M Squad Club is a small group program that meets during the school day. Each session focuses on one of the eight G.U.M Code virtues (Love, Happiness, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Integrity, Loyalty, Self-Control). Students explore mindfulness and emotional regulation through art projects and creative expression. Other activities include reflection circles, breathing exercises, journaling and role-play. This format is ideal for students who could benefit from extra support in managing emotions, building relationships, and making positive choices.

In this program, each week builds on the last and kids work collaboratively and individually toward Squad Goals to earn tokens, badges and unlock power-ups! At the end of the 10 sessions, students will receive a certificate for completing the program and acknowledgement for the virtue that they either demonstrated the most or showed improvement in the most.

Programming includes 10 one hour sessions but can be extended at your request.
