Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Kindness is contagious!
Our student-run National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) club helps to spread kindness to students battling mental health struggles by ensuring that our school is a safe, accepting, and supportive place to be!
This club hosts events throughout the year to destigmatize mental health, build community, support peers who are struggling, and spread joy and positivity. The supplies requested in the project would allow for our school-based mental health providers to partner with the NAMI club to spread kindness to the students and staff at our school in hopes of creating a ripple effect that would positively impact the local community and the world at large.
In support of suicide prevention, our NAMI club hosts an event for all students in the quad during lunchtime. During this event, our Mental Health Specialist and School Social Worker work alongside this club of students leaders to distribute resources. We are hoping to pass out bracelets, pins, ribbons, keychains, buttons, stickers, and motivational cards. We will give teachers "kindness coins" to distribute to their students, leave random acts of kindness cards scattered throughout campus, and randomly distribute candy to brighten students day and being a smile to their face.
Thank you so much for helping our NAMI club to create a positive school culture and help teach our students and staff to be kind to their mind!
