We practiced wellness and self-care as we entered the holiday break!. The counseling team hosted opportunities for enrichment / self-care during lunchtime everyday in the wellness center. The goal was to introduce similar activities that students can do on their own at home during our time off. 

At MMS, we want to exude a climate that prioritizes acceptance, kindness, and inclusion. Therefore, our counseling team presented in all  PE class periods on Thursday January 11th, 2024 . They presented some information, engaged in an activity, and had an open discussion about ways to be more aware of how our words and actions affect/impact others and how to be more self aware when interacting with others on campus. As a result, we wanted MMS students to understand how each student can contribute in a positive way in making sure our campus has a safe climate for all students to feel comfortable being themselves while at school.
