My Project

Our middle school is acknowledging mental health awareness month in May by wearing green in support and learning facts about how to cope, resources to use and general mental health facts. Each student will compete in a Blooket quiz challenge to show how much they know and have learned. We will select the top winners in 6th, 7th and 8th grade and provide them a valuable prize to show just how important our mental health is and how much we support it. The students love Beats headphone and this would show status and respect for our challenge. Our students come from a disadvantaged community and these Beats head phones would be an impressive item to cherish and remember our Mental Health Challenge.
