During the month of May, students at W.S. Mount Elementary School celebrated the importance of mental health, and how it is just as important as physical and social health. Each class reviewed what mental health is and ways students can take time each day to take care of themselves.

Health teacher Ms. Robles read stories with different self-care strategies that students can use to boost their mental health. They discussed feelings, healthy ways to express them, and who to talk to in school if they need help. The entire school worked on a self-care rainbow, which displays various coping strategies in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month.

Sixth graders at W.S. Mount Elementary School learned proper etiquette for formal events during a “fancy luncheon” on May 17. Students first sat through a presentation where they reviewed proper attire, RSVP guidelines and general manners. After the presentation, they made their way to “Mountiecellos,” a formal restaurant set up in the building where parent volunteers practiced white glove service.
