This school year, St. Ann Hamilton students identified an alley that many use to get to school. They wanted to make the alley more student-friendly, so they cleaned it and held an art contest. The winning art was posted on a fence in the alley. Way to go students!
This year, Regina Mundi's Health Action Team painted rocks with positive messaging to provide a mental health boost for those that see them.
Today they placed them along one of their Student Streets (i.e., a common walking route to school).
Thanks Nurse Jo and Ms. Kowalik!
