Freeport Public Schools and the International Association for Human Values (IAHV) have a long and successful partnership providing our students and staff with stress relieving techniques and strategies though the YES program (now SKY Schools). During this difficult time, Freeport Schools and IAHV have partnered together to continue our SKY Schools remotely to provide our students, staff, and families with guided relaxation sessions, including guided breathing and meditation, to reduce stress along with providing a comprehensive wellness curriculum. The physical and mental health of our students, their families and our staff is of top priority to us and we continue to support your mental well-being. Please take care of yourselves and consider taking part our guided relaxation sessions. Please see the session types and schedules below:
