My Project

We’re excited to announce our upcoming 7th Grade Spirit Week, taking place May 27th-May 30th, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month! Each day will feature fun, themed activities focused on promoting wellness, positivity, and connection.

Throughout the week, students will engage in activities that support emotional well-being, self-care, kindness, and resilience—all while showing their school spirit!

We’ll wrap up the week with a special Field Day on Friday, full of games and team-building activities designed to promote mental health, movement, and community.

More details about the daily themes will be shared soon. We can’t wait to celebrate with our students and help them learn ways to support their own mental wellness while having a blast together!

Thank you for your continued support!
