Passionate students often neglect their own health. It's easy to get caught up in academics and extracurriculars and forget to spend time on your wellbeing-- students characteristically lose sleep over schoolwork, but it's even more important for creatively-focused teenagers to keep their health and wellbeing in mind as well.
Many of our readers know, this website is a CAS project, which is an key element of the International Baccalaureate program. "CAS" stands for creativity, action, and service; while Driftwood has been a primarily creative endeavor, we chose to integrate "action" into this project as well. This is because being active is essential to being a healthy, functioning, and creative teenager. We have benefitted from being active together, and we hope to inspire other creatively-inclined students to do the same.
We've taken several hikes and photo-walks (nature walks, where we take photos) together. On this page, we'll be posting about these events. If you're a fan of the site, or you'd just like to come be active & exercise with us, keep an eye on the announcements box, and RSVP on the right hand side of this page. We hope to see you soon!

To keep the body in good health is a duty,
otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
