Activity Fair in the MRC for Suicide Awareness
9/26/2024
As many know, September is the month for Suicide Awareness. Keeping this in mind, it is important to take this topic seriously and have a safe environment to share feelings and emotions as they come. To help combat these stressors/negative feelings and give students a place to find help, the Sparta High School Align Wellness Center held an Activity Fair, September 25 during lunch.
They offered multiple different stations regarding physical wellness, mental health, and coping skills. They had yoga, bracelet making, and breathing exercises for the students to do. Students were also able to go around the stations and get signatures from the teachers whilst participating in activities to gain more entry tickets in the prizes offered. These prizes included 2 Pet Portraits painted by Mrs. Mase, A chance to be the weather person on the Scoop, A Wooden shelf, 2 tickets to the musical, and 1 item of School Spirit. However, beyond just getting a chance to win a prize, students were able to gain knowledge on useful skills they can use and destigmatize the topic of mental health.
