In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Mount Elementary School hosted a weeklong celebration to promote mental health and well-being. Students in grades 3-6 participated in a Self-Care Fair during their health classes, engaging in fun and therapeutic activities. These included shredding their worries, coloring, playing bingo and writing down personal coping strategies to help them feel their best.

Meanwhile, younger students in kindergarten through second grade explored the importance of mental health and healthy coping skills. Through videos, books and hands-on activities, they learned valuable lessons about taking care of their mental well-being in a supportive and positive school environment.

The week’s events not only educated students about mental health but also encouraged them to practice self-care and foster a culture of kindness and support within the school community.
