Our hearts are full after such a special visit from the LHS Mental Health & Wellness Club, SPEAK OUT!
On May 15, SPEAK OUT students joined us during their Flex period to spend time reading with our LES students—and it was an incredible success! Classrooms were filled with smiles, laughter, and the joy of reading as our elementary students connected with these amazing high school role models.
This meaningful experience not only encouraged a love of books, but also helped promote positive relationships and mental wellness through kindness, connection, and shared moments.
A huge thank you to the SPEAK OUT members for their time, energy, and heart, and to Mrs. Stone for supporting this wonderful opportunity. We are so grateful for partnerships like this that make a lasting impact on our students! 💙
