Chill Week: February 9th - 13th
We are excited to have our 5th Annual Chill Week at MMS from February 9th - 13th! Chill Week focuses on a daily theme to encourage students to think about and practice self-care using Change to Chill’s online resources and activities. Change to Chill is a free online resource from Allina Health that offers mental health resources for teens designed to help them learn how to relax and integrate healthy habits into their lifestyle.
Themes for Chill Week:
Movement Monday
Too Kind Tuesday
Well-Being Wednesday
Throw it Out Thursday
Feel Good Friday
We are excited to have a guest speaker on Friday, February 13th!
Cory Greenwood, will teach students resilience and tools to overcome challenges and pursue their dreams, while creating a positive school culture. Cory will present with KAYKO, a Top 10 American Idol finalist from last year along with a drummer to all MMS students from 8:30AM to 9:35AM to remind students that they matter!
