buddies match clothes for mental health awareness day

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month Ms. Jenelle, FUEL's Mental Health Specialist, in collaboration with Communities In Schools' Ms. Tiffany, led initiatives to raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health wellness. This weeklong celebration focused on promoting positivity, resilience, and self-care among students and staff. Activities included dress up days like "Buddy Day" where students and staff dressed alike to demonstrate unity and support within the FUEL community.

As well as a window art installation of student-created butterflies with positive affirmations.
