The Kennedy School set aside a room specifically as a retreat for students and staff who are searching for a quiet, contemplative space.

The room contains several pieces of exercise equipment, yoga mats, meditation pillows and is painted a tranquil blue with a beautiful mural on one side. The Kennedy has a history of piloting sophisticated mindfulness programming. Read a district blog post about Kennedy Mindfulness practices in the early grades
