Grimes families relax, recharge during breathe & bond event

Grimes Elementary School recently hosted Breathe & Bond, a Title I Family Engagement Experience focused on wellness, mindfulness and meaningful family connections. Families enjoyed a relaxing atmosphere while participating in activities designed to promote conversation, self-care and emotional well-being.

A special highlight of the event was a sound bowl meditation experience led by Khay Kare, who introduced families to calming mindfulness practices and the benefits of relaxation. Families also created their own bath salt bombs, learning about different scents and how aromatherapy can support relaxation, stress relief and overall wellness.

Parents and children engaged in guided conversations, shared experiences and quality time together, strengthening family bonds in a peaceful and welcoming environment. The event provided families with practical wellness tools they can continue to use at home while reinforcing the importance of taking time to connect, reflect and care for one another.
