Jamie Reygle receives $250 from Billy Motley and Chris Bond at Citizens

We are celebrating the generosity of the Floyd community for Christmas, after receiving two big gifts towards our Make a Great Match campaign, which is aiming to raise $5,500 to pay for our InSchools faculty mindfulness training program in Floyd County Public Schools.

We made it another 10% of the way there on Friday when iBme founder and InStill Advisory Team member, Joe Klein, gave the organization $300, and Citizens Telephone Coop gave us $250.

InStill Executive Director, Jamie Reygle, said, “We are thoroughly thrilled with the support we have received from the Floyd community. We went into this campaign having no idea what to expect, and we’ve now raised $3,500 in just a couple of weeks. The generosity we have encountered gives us so much faith, not only in the people and businesses of Floyd, but also in what we are doing.”

InStill defines mindfulness as “to simply be noticing with curiosity. By doing this in the present moment, without judgment, one is able to cultivate focus, concentration, kindness, compassion, wisdom, and heartfulness towards oneself and others.”

The InSchools program teaches mindfulness to faculty from across the Floyd County Public Schools division, with the aim of giving them the skills to regularly provide mindfulness-based interventions in their classrooms, staff rooms, and throughout the school system.
