Horses make everything better! See for yourself on March 27

If you need some stress relief as we move into AP exams and our final weeks of school, BC2M has your back! On Wednesday, March 27th, trained horses and their caretakers will be visiting Maggie Walker out in Lombardy Street horseshoe lot from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm. The priority of this event is to give students the chance to interact with a magnificent animal and take a break from the hustle and bustle of academic work.

We’re thrilled to welcome this opportunity back to Maggie Walker and hope this remains an extension of Mindfulness Month tradition in which students participate in guided yoga, nature documentary screenings, workshops for breathing exercises, meditation, and the science of mindfulness, pajama day, and free tea at lunch during March. BC2M believes in the indirect relationship between practicing mindfulness, diminished stress levels, and acting with integrity, responsibility, and compassion.
