If you have any experience in teaching mindfulness or leading exercises in mindfulness or yoga, we’d love your expertise.

Error during intensive registration
Dear parents,
Please note that the price for the Hunter Education and Introduction to Shotgun Sports Intensive is only $70-$100, instead of the price listed during registration ($400-$600). If students are interested in that Intensive instead of the one they registered for, they can go to the Steller ASD website and re-register today. Also, today is the last day to register for Intensives. If they are having any problems with the website, they can come to see Leigh Anne.
