About the Project
Our school is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment that promotes our students’ physical, emotional, and social well-being. Our goal is to develop a Wellness Park located on campus. A Wellness Park will allow students to get active, connect with nature, and learn important life skills. In this post-pandemic era, there is a great need for mental wellness at our site. This green space would allow for interactive activities, gardening, and stations similar to that of a fitness path. The overall goal is to improve the psychological well-being of our community. It is our belief that interacting, engaging, and socializing in an open, green space can help reduce stress, improve mood, and help address loss, grief, and trauma.
