Green Mountain Donates $10,000 to School Wellness Program

26 February 2010

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters has donated $10,000 to support the Wellness and Resiliency program at local South Burlington, Vermont Schools.

The program reaches 100 teachers who learn about stress management techniques and general wellness. The wellness techniques taught to the teachers are then incorporated into the general classroom curriculum, to be passed on to the students.

Talk About Wellness Coordinator Marilyn Neagley explains, “Training our youth in exercising calming practices and stress management increases their ability to learn and process information as well as deal with the day-to-day stress of social situations that are part of being a student.”

Green Mountain Coffee was particularly interested in supporting teacher and teen retreats that are offered by the Talk About Wellness Initiative.

    Brilliant first pic. Can I copy it on a feature I’m researching about mountain bike climbing and the effects on the body?
