ROCKERS on a Mission...
Founded in 2016 as a collaboration between musicians, artists and educators concerned about youth in their community, MySchoolROCKS remains dedicated to initiating constructive dialogue focusing on the timely issue of youth wellness. Harnessing the synergy between creativity and wellness, we inspire students to embrace well-being through mindful activity.
It all started almost a decade ago with our founder Cliff Callaway's ORIGINAL school assembly: "Music and Wellness ROCKS": Rock Out Bullying !
MySchoolROCKS continues to envision change at the grassroots/school level by mentoring youth to manage negative situations in healthy ways.
Our signature Rock OUT assembly, wellness ROCKSHOPS and hands-on music instruction tap into emotional intelligence highlighting the positive impact of Music, Mindfulness and Growth Mindsets.
From our original "Rock Out Bullying" message of inclusivity, to our ambitious research projects and App/web based development, MySchoolROCKS aspires to be an innovative leader in classroom instruction.
In 2019, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation selected MySchoolROCKS as the only Canadian Charity to receive a prestigious Grand Challenges Grant and build on founder Cliff Callaway's inspiring vision.
Let MySchoolROCKS energize your students, harness creativity and use the positive power of the ROCKS message to inspire your school community to ROCK and UNLOCK their potential !
