Happy Wellness Wednesday!
Every October, individuals
from across the nation unite in a campaign to keep youth safe from bullying.
Come visit the Peer Mediators in front of the band room at lunch to share some
anti-bullying messages and goodies! Let’s spread kindness!

Self-Care
Take a moment at
the end of each day and list a few good things that have happened. This can
help refocus your emotions on all the positive things that happen each day,

Kindness
Challenge
Pick up 5 pieces of trash on your way to class after
nutrition break and lunch.
Affective Statement:
I am so excited
to hear/see...
Because YELLOW stands
for happiness, positivity, energy, optimism, and joy, we are asking for
our campus community to wear YELLOW on Wednesdays to help promote
our Wellness Wednesday efforts.
We also invite you to encourage your students to
visit our Wellness Wednesday lounge in the counseling center at lunch every
Wednesday. It’s the perfect spot to de-stress and decompress.
To spread the good news of our wellness efforts,
please use the hashtag #BeWellRedDevils
in sharing your Wellness Wednesday activities.
Be Well Red Devils!
