If students entered the building with a bit more swag in their step, we aren't saying it's because of the positive messages canvasing our walkways, but we're not not saying that either. 😎
For 988 Day, our EJMS Ambassadors and Sources of Strength peer leaders led the charge to promote mental wellness, break the stigma against mental health, and share vital crisis support resources.
Their positive chalk messages outside, messages of encouragement that were handed out, and work directing students to crisis support resources in our classroom hallways all serve as an important reminder that mental health matters!
We, as a community, can continue to strive to have each other's backs and be the light that reminds one another that "YOU MATTER!" 🐆💙💚
