“Wellness is something we all practice every day from the moment we wake up. How can we be our healthiest – mind, body and spirit – while also inspiring and educating others? Watching those choices in action and watching students have their own ‘ah-ha’ moments is the epitome of lifelong learning!” – Jennifer Myers
