To conclude Mental Health Awareness Month, our Peer Helpers in grades 3–5 participated in a poster contest designed to promote positive social-emotional well-being. Students from Huffman Academy, Phillips Academy, Hemphill Elementary, Hayes K-8, and Barrett Elementary proudly participated, showcasing both their creativity and their understanding of the importance of mental wellness.

Through their artwork, students explored and expressed meaningful themes centered around self-awareness, kindness, and emotional wellness! #SuccessStartsHere
