Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week is May 1st – May 7th, 2017
During the week of May 1st through May 7th, students, teachers, and staff will be learning more about mental health. The Student Services Team will be presenting tips on the daily announcements in order to bring awareness to the issue of mental health, as well as to help everyone at WLES learn positive ways to promote good mental health. Teachers can do a brief follow-up in their classrooms to help stress each day’s tip. We’re asking everyone to wear GREEN on Thursday, May 4th in order to show support for Children’s Mental Health Awareness. Parents can support this important issue by watching the daily YouTube videos and discussing the tips with their children.
