Our Whole Lives (OWL)

Each year we offer Our Whole Lives classes at different levels.  This year we offer the Seventh and Eighth Grade level from October - May and the Fourth and Fifth Grade Level Class in January - March 2012. Our Whole Lives is a positive, comprehensive and age appropriate educational program that promotes sexual health.  The Our Whole Lives Program was developed by experts in the field of sexuality education and is used in churches, schools and organizations across the country. Topics covered in eight sessions discuss our wonderful bodies, keeping our bodies healthy and safe, families and how there are many wonderful kinds of families, babies and life celebrations.

Recognizing that parents are the primary educators for their children, the curriculum helps children gain the knowledge, principles and skills they need to express their sexuality in life-enhancing ways.
