Our Whole Lives (OWL) Classes
*** Registration is closed for our Spring 2025 4th-6th grade OWL class. We offer OWL classes for 4th-6th and 7th-9th graders every 2-3 years. ***
OWL is sexuality education valuing self-worth, sexual health, responsibility, justice, and inclusivity. OWL models and teaches caring, compassion, respect, and justice. The 4-6th grade curriculum covers topics such as changes of puberty, positive body image, physical health, and healthy relationships. More details about the curriculum can be found at the UUA OWL website. If you have any questions, please reach out to re@uuchnc.org.
