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
The "Empowering Communities for Wellness" project is dedicated to securing resources for students to actively promote well-being within our community and extend support to those in need. Through the creation of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) bracelets, students will not only engage in a creative process but also contribute to the broader goal of fostering mental and emotional wellness. These bracelets, designed as daily reminders and sources of inspiration, will encourage students to prioritize their mental health. The inclusion of lettered beads enhances the impact, promoting words of encouragement throughout the bracelet-making process.
The primary objective of this initiative is to create a positive and supportive environment within the broader community.
The end goal is to make these wellness-promoting bracelets available to members of our school community, offering support and promoting well-being, especially during the winter season when many face challenges such as seasonal depression and the stress of midterm exams. Bracelets will be shared amongst the freshman homerooms and also displayed on the hallway bulletin board to be selected on a first come, first serve basis to the upperclassmen. The balloons and bulletin board letters will be used to decorate the board and draw attention to our project.
