Bishop Mac WELLNESS Council
Our student Wellness Council is committed to improving the everyday and overall well being of our school community. Currently, we are exploring The Umbrella Project as a framework for supporting Mental Health & Wellness.
Helping to develop positive practices that encourage healthy mindsets in a culture of wellness and gratitude.
Wellness Wednesdays and Thankful Thursdays are provided by our student Wellness Committee;
airing daily on our morning announcements and Wednesdays and Fridays on BM News.
With pick-me-up treats for holidays, playful reminders to practice kindness with others, and suggestions for being kind to ourselves, these students provide Wellness support year-round.
