Mindfulness at CJR

Over the past several weeks our 3rd and 4th grade students have been practicing new skills to give them a "leg up" in the classroom. The Baltimore Sun recently published an article detailing some of the benefits of Mindful Meditation. In our video, Cindy Maxted walks us through how she brought Mindfulness to CJR and students speak out about its impact on their lives inside and outside the classroom.
