* Workshops will take place from 9:45 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. & 11:15 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Why:
At any given time, almost 20% of students in a typical classroom will be dealing with some type of mental health problem. Recognizing the impact that mental health has on all of us, a group of 5 teachers worked together to organize a school wide wellness day. The scheduled concert and workshops will introduce ways for students and staff to reduce anxiety in their lives and to enhance their overall well-being – socially, emotionally, academically and physically.
Who:
Students and staff from Unionville HS will participate. Presenters include school staff, board staff and community partners.
