Over half of the teens in Tennessee and across U.S. are stressed and many do not know how to handle it.  Today\u2019s kids are confronted by many pressures and challenges, and back-to-school time can be especially stressful. That\u2019s where Life\u2019s Good: Experience Happiness comes in.<\/p>\n

Kenwood Middle School and 24 other local schools have participated in the Life\u2019s Good: Experience Happiness program since 2018 and this year LG is extending the program, in cooperation with Inner Explorer, to the entire Clarksville-Montgomergy County School system, 41 schools in total.<\/p>\n

[320left]This is where each day teachers can log on to the Inner Explorer teaching portal and share the daily lesson with children of all ages.  Clarksville students and teachers can rely on Inner Explorer as a tool in creating positive effects on students, teachers, parents and the community.<\/p>\n

Starting next week, LG will be encouraging students and parents to post their own story of the first day back to school in social media, using the hashtags #Day1 and #LGoals. For each post, LG will donate a $1.00 and increase support for partners to help them carry forward the LG: Experience Happiness program to additional schools around the nation.<\/p>\n
