WHOOOOO is ready? We are excited to announce that elementary OWL (Our Whole Lives) classes will return this fall! For more than 25 years, UU congregations have offered this life-affirming, comprehensive sexuality education program that helps children build self-esteem, healthy relationships, body awareness, and decision-making skills.

Leslie, Ellory Boyd, and Robin Keith recently completed the required UUA training and are preparing to offer an 8-week OWL series for elementary-aged children beginning in September. Depending on interest and family commitments, we will offer a K/1, 1st/2nd, or 2nd/3rd-grade class.

If you have children, grandchildren, or family friends in grades K–3 who may be interested, please complete and share this interest survey by June 8th (https://bit.ly/4nIOIj1) responses will help determine which grade levels we offer.

Workshops are developmentally appropriate and include topics such as bodies, boundaries, families, pregnancy and birth, and babies. Questions? Contact Leslie at [email protected] or speak with her before or after Sunday services.
