No better month to learn about how our Ss are doing than #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth ! Thanks to our PTA for organizing a great parent presentation today.Now is the time to make every effort to put practices into place that promote student mental health/wellness.

Our first "Wellness Wednesday" at EMS is off to a great start! Students watched a video about "reminders for hard days" and then made their own reminders to put around the school! #mentalhealthawarenessmonth

This week's Wellness Wednesday gave students an opportunity for "outdoor play!" It is so fun seeing what students do when they're given unstructured play time and the directions are: "have fun!!"🌞 #mentalhealthawarenessmonth

Our theme for #mentalhealthawarenessmonth has been "R U OK?" Checking in on one another is vital and important to us in our EMS community. Over 75 staff members purchased these shirts and wear them every Wednesday! 💚🐊🤍
