Mental Health Day is a day for secondary students to decompress, enjoy their peers, and get a well-deserved break from working hard all year.
***This year Mental Health Day will be held on April 21st.***
We will have Elephant Joe’s and Adventure Bowls here and the community is welcome to come and grab a snack on that day. In addition, many community members and agencies will have booths set up for mental health support and information as well as activities available for students inside and out.
We are looking for donations of several items to make this day a success. If you are willing to donate any of the following items, it would be greatly appreciated! Items can be dropped off at either the elementary school or the high school (attention school counselors).
Plastic pencil boxes that stay closed (we need a couple hundred total)
Old phone boxes with lids
Tiny rakes for zen garden
Zen garden figurines
Smooth decorative small rocks
Kinetic Sand
Fine sand (decorative sand)
