Health and Wellness
Adams PTSA provides the school with tools, resources and programs to support the physical, social, and emotional wellbeing of our students through the Health and Wellness Committee.
Much of the work done by the Health and Wellness Committee is done in partnership with and under the guidance of the Adams Counseling Department and Beach Cities Health District.
SPEAKER SPONSORSHIP
Adams PTSA co-sponsors Mental Health Youth Speakers with the Adams Counseling Department annually.
Dr. Laymon Hicks spoke to the students on the first day of the 2023-24 school year.
Health and Wellness Festival
Adams PTSA hosts an annual Health and Wellness Festival in the spring. The Festival is a free community event created to expose attendees to the various dimensions of health and wellness, including healthy eating, physical activity, mental wellness, health services, and other local health and wellness resources. The event includes healthy food, fitness/wellness mini-clinics, and interactive booths for all ages.
This event is in conjunction with Adams Counseling Department’s Wellness Week, which is dedicated to raising awareness around the importance of “exercising” mental health.
We are currently recruiting co-chairs and a planning team to help with the 2024 Health and Wellness Festival. The Festival will be held Saturday, April 20, 2024.
Last year's festival featured 30-min Classes & Mini-Clinics, BCHD Blender Bikes, Inflatable Obstacle Course, Mini Golf, All-Day Booths, Silent Auction, Food Trucks, and more. Check out our 2023 Festival here.
